Seattle Seahawks (6-5) at Chicago Bears (8-3)

(Sunday, FOX, 1:00 PM ET)

Two teams in the thick of the playoff chase will meet at Soldier Field. The Bears lead the NFC North with an 8-3 record while the Seahawks are battling for a Wild Card position at 6-5.

Rookie quarterback RUSSELL WILSON has guided Seattle to six wins and he led the NFL with a 128.6 passer rating in November. Wilson posted a passer rating of at least 125 in all three November starts and he is the first rookie in NFL history to register a 125+ rating in three consecutive games.

"We've got a huge game in front of us," says Wilson about the Week 13 matchup with the Bears. "That's our only focus. That's got to be a narrow focus. We've just got to keep battling."

Chicago improved to 8-3 with a 28-10 win over Minnesota last week. Running back MICHAEL BUSH rushed for two touchdowns and the defense recorded its league-leading 20th interception. Wide receiver BRANDON MARSHALL, in his first year with the Bears, became the fifth player in NFL history with a 1,000-yard receiving season with three different teams (Denver, Miami, Chicago).

"We are where we want to be," says Bears head coach LOVIE SMITH. "Back on the winning track and we feel good."
