The Bears finally got their No. 1 defensive line together at the same time, with Jeremiah Ratliff returning from an ankle injury and sliding from nose tackle to end and rookie Eddie Goldman playing the middle in base, and Jarvis Jenkins at the other end. The result was a shutdown of the Kansas City Chiefs offense in the second half that included crucial stops at critical junctures and throttling the offense after it lost franchise running back Jamaal Charles to a knee injury in the second half.
Ratliff had four tackles and a quarterback hit in his first time taking the field this season.
