Seahawks vs. Bears score, live updates: Seattle needs a win to keep playoff hopes alive in final Thursday Night Football game of the year

The Seattle Seahawks have to be kicking themselves after Week 16's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks now need two wins, and the Rams to lose to the Cardinals this Sunday — the Rams win the division with a win over Arizona — for Seattle to take the NFC West crown. They'll have to lock in Thursday night in Chicago as the Bears wind down a season of change that started with the hype around No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and is closing with uncertainty around who'll be the club's next coach.

Second-year Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is enjoying a breakout year and could go a long way toward keeping Seattle in the hunt.
