The Seattle Seahawks are in desperation mode and no longer control their own playoff fate. There’s little time to recover from Sunday’s gut-wrenching loss to the Minnesota Vikings, as they’ll be flying on Christmas to Chicago to take on the Bears on Thursday Night Football. Yeah, the Bears are 4-11 and have lost nine straight, but the Seahawks also lost to the 2-13 New York Giants and have been just sloppy enough to make any game uncomfortably close or an actual loss.
