Kansas City Chiefs Beat Bears As Defense Dominates

We had the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to Soldier Field to battle the Chicago Bears. We had two teams that were in the playoffs a year ago. This season, Kansas City is still fighting for the second seed in the AFC. With Chicago, they have had a very disappointing season and will miss the playoffs. With the Patriots winning Saturday night, Kansas City needed the win to still have a shot at a first round bye. Mitchell Trubisky and Patrick Mahomes were talked about a lot because they were in the same 2017 draft class. As we all know, the Bears traded up to draft Trubisky with the 2nd pick.

Kansas City drafted Mahomes with the 10th overall pick. Patrick Mahomes is one of the best QBs in the league and reigning MVP. Trubisky has struggled all year and he’s feeling pressure because of his play. Could the Bears ruin the Chiefs chances of a first round bye? Will Kansas City continue their winning ways and keep pressure on New England?

The first quarter was pretty much a feeling out process for both teams. The defense held serve until the Chiefs scored towards the end of the first quarter.
