The Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks will clash on Sunday in one of three late afternoon games taking place today in Week 3 of the NFL 2015 regular season. Both teams are on 0-2 and still seeking a first win of the season. For one, a win will finally come today, but for the other, dropping to 0-3 will almost certainly leave their postseason hopes in ruins. Today's game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network, or online through live stream via the link below.

Both teams are in a perilous position at 0-2, and will be desperate to claim the win today. The Seahawks should be favorites to win here; after the past few seasons they've had, as well as the fact that today's game is in the cauldron that is CenturyLink Field, Seattle should finally be able to add a one to the wins column today.

The Seahawks and the Bears will know what it means to fall to 0-3; only three teams in the last quarter century have managed to comeback from losing their opening three games of a season to make the Playoffs - those are the kind of odds the loser is looking at today.

That said, being at 0-2 is bad enough as it is, as only 12 percent of teams over the past 25 years have made the Playoffs after such a poor start to the season.

With two teams lacking in confidence, and the nerves of what is at stake in today's game, expect a tense affair, and whoever can deal with the pressures of today's game the best could be the team to come out on top.

Week 3 is already crunch time for a number of NFL teams. Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football, the New York Giants faced a massive game against the Washington Redskins. The Giants were 0-2 after their opening two games, and they knew if they slipped to 0-3 their season was almost guaranteed to be over before it had even got going.

The 1-1 Washington Redskins were hoping to move to 2-1 to compete with the NFC East division leading Dallas Cowboys, and at the same time all but eliminate one of their main rivals from contention for the postseason.

But when the push came to shove the Giants showed that they are still alive and kicking. New York came out of the blocks fast, building a 12-0 lead after the first quarter, and it was a lead they would refuse to give up despite some strong pressure from the Redskins in the fourth.

The Giants had lost their opening two games after getting themselves into winning positions and some must have thought they were heading the same way on Thursday. However, they finally held on to a second half lead and clinched a 32-21 win, with the highlight being a 30 yard Odell Beckham Jr touchdown catch.

The Redskins must have seen how the Giants collapsed under pressure in the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons in Weeks 1 and 2. But even though the Redskins pushed hard in the fourth, scoring 15 points in the final quarter, the Giants responded to the pressure and recorded 14 points themselves to keep themselves in front.
