Key matchups:

Khalil Mack vs. Germain Ifedi

The man that Von Miller abused in the opener last week was Seahawks right tackle Germain Ifedi, who allowed two of Miller’s three sacks on the day. Now he’ll be the one who has to tangle with Khalil Mack, the same man who terrorized the Packers for a sack, a forced and recovered fumble and a pick six in the first half last week. His conditioning should be improved as will his understanding of the Bears system. Ifedi can’t afford another letdown in such a critical game.

Allen Robinson vs. Tre Flowers

The Seahawks found out how much they missed Richard Sherman in Denver as the Broncos abused cornerback Tre Flower all afternoon. He allowed seven catches on the day for 124 yards and a touchdown. One of his assignments will be Allen Robinson, the Bears’ big free agent signing who looked healthy in Green Bay with four catches for 61 yards. This doesn’t include the speedy Taylor Gabriel or rookie Anthony Miller either.
