What experts are predicting for Sunday’s Patriots-Bears game

COMMENTARY

Are the injury-depleted Kansas City Chiefs really going to make a run at 20-0?

Sadly, we won’t have Mercury Morris around for this latest chase at NFL perfection, which, you know, hasn’t been accomplished since the 1972 Miami Dolphins went 16-0. You might remember the New England Patriots once went 18-1. There was a banner.

That Patriots team was so good, they turned the NFL into Soccer Mommies clutching their pearls over New England “running up the score” on everybody. These Chiefs, sans Isiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown due to injuries, keep squeaking past everyone mainly only because of a stalwart defense and, of course, Patrick Mahomes.
