Two teams searching for their first win in the 2015 National Football League (NFL) regular season will play against each other Sunday when Super Bowl XLVIII winners Seattle Seahawks host the Chicago Bears at CenturyLink Field.
The Seahawks were stunned in their season opener against the St. Louis Rams losing 34–31 and again suffered defeat facing familiar foes the Green Bay Packers 27–17.
Seattle is currently in an unfamiliar territory with a 0–2 start after reaching the Super Bowl in the past two seasons.
But the biggest motivation for the Seahawks heading to Sunday's matchup is the return of "Legion of Boom" member strong safety Kam Chancellor.
Chancellor missed training camp, preseason, and the Seahawks' first two regular season games while holding out aiming to have a new contract but never succeeded.
Last Wednesday, the three-time Pro Bowler ended the holdout, reporting to the Seahawks' training facility and practicing with the team for the first time.
Chancellor said watching Seattle lose two consecutive times was tough to watch for him especially considering that he is a leader.
Now that he's back, the 27-year-old safety also stated his readiness to play football and help the Seahawks this season.
The return of Chancellor boosts Seattle's defense, which is not a good thing for the Bears who will be without franchise quarterback Jay Cutler who suffered a hamstring injury.
In two losses suffered against the Packers (31–23) and the Arizona Cardinals (48–23), Cutler had 26 completions for 345 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
According to a report by the Associated Press, backup Jimmy Clausen is expected to replace Cutler.
Clausen has played one game this season, having 14 completions for 121 yards and one interception.
Playing at the Seahawks' home field is another tough challenge for the Bears since the 2013 champions are looking to capture their 27th win in 29 home games.
The Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears will play on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 4:25 p.m. EST.
