The Seattle Seahawks don't play on Sunday, but they can still pull closer to the San Francisco 49ers in the race for the NFC West title. San Francisco and Seattle come into Week 12 with six wins each, but the 49ers have a two-game advantage in the loss column.

San Francisco faces the Chicago Bears at home on Sunday. The Bears are 7-2 and coming off a loss to the Houston Texans. Both teams are vying for home field advantage in the playoffs, as the Falcons opened the door by losing their first game of the year last week.

Arizona can help out both those teams when they visit Atlanta. The Cardinals are on a five-game losing streak after opening the year 4-0.

The Rams played well on the road at San Francisco last week, but could only come away with a tie. They will host the struggling New York Jets this week.
