The Kansas City Chiefs began the Andy Reid era in 2013 with 9-0 start to a season that ended in the playoffs. Last year the Chiefs started 2-2, finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Through four games this season the Chiefs are where the Bears are — 1-3 — but have gotten there by losing their last three in a row, unlike the Bears who at least won their game on Sunday. More ominous for the Chiefs, they have lost their games by increasing margins: by seven at home to Denver, by 10 at Green Bay and last Sunday by 15 in Cincinnati.
