The roles were supposed to be reversed.
The Chicago Bears were resting all of their starters, while the Kansas City Chiefs were playing the first unit on both sides but that didn’t stop the hosts from rolling up 27 points in a preseason win over the Chiefs 27-20..
The visiting Chiefs looked impressive on offense and should walk away feeling confident about new quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s ability to take charge and move the chains. Mahomes went completed 18 of 24 pass attempts for 196 yards and 1 touchdowns against 0 interceptions. Then again, how good can the Chiefs feel about the effort when the Bears were sitting their best defenders on the field?
