Preview
The Bears and Chiefs are two of the most storied franchises in NFL history. The Bears have won nine NFL championships, tied for the most all-time. The Chiefs have won three Super Bowls, including two in the last four years.
The Bears are coming off a disappointing 8-8 season in 2022. The team fired head coach Matt Nagy after the season and hired former Colts head coach Frank Reich to replace him.
The Chiefs are coming off a 14-3 season in 2022. The team won the AFC West and reached the AFC Championship Game, where they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bears and Chiefs have met 54 times in the regular season, with the Chiefs holding a 30-23-1 record.
Key Matchups
- Justin Fields vs. Patrick Mahomes: The game will feature two of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL. Fields is entering his third season with the Bears, while Mahomes is entering his sixth season with the Chiefs.
- Bears' defense vs. Chiefs' offense: The Bears' defense will need to play at a high level to slow down the Chiefs' high-powered offense. The Chiefs averaged 30.1 points per game in 2022, which was the third-highest mark in the NFL.
- Chiefs' defense vs. Bears' offense: The Chiefs' defense will need to play well to contain the Bears' offense. The Bears have a talented offense led by Fields and wide receiver Darnell Mooney.
Prediction
The Chiefs are the clear favorites to win this game. They have a more talented roster and more experience. However, the Bears are a young and hungry team, and they will be playing at home. I predict the Chiefs will win a close game, 27-20.
