You can watch Thursday Night Football: Seahawks vs. Bears at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on Amazon Prime Video.
This “Thursday Night Football” matchup is the last of the season, and even more important than usual, as this is the championship round. Yes, we just had Wednesday football, and if you’re playing for the ‘ship, you likely had a couple of Ravens or maybe a Texan or two on your roster.

Charbonnet looks set to be a workhorse for the Seahawks, a role he’s excelled in at times this season in Walker’s stead.
Will Keenan Allen keep it rockin’?
It appears no one has told Keenan Allen that he’s 32 years old, that it’s 2024, that he was just supposed to play third fiddle for his rookie quarterback. Instead, Allen has turned back the clock to deliver some vintage performances of late.
He’s scored five times in his last five games, including three…
