The Chicago Bears dominated the reigning Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs during the last game of the preseason this Thursday after beating them by a score of 21 to 34 and finish undefeated this portion of the calendar in the preparation games.

On the other hand, it was the third consecutive defeat for the Chiefs in this preseason and they now wish to start the regular season looking for another ring. The Bears were dominating on all phases of the game, but they were clicking through the ground.

Running touching from Reddy Steward and Velus Jones, one through the air from Tommy Sweeney, an interception that Reddy Steward converted into a touchdown and the effectiveness of Brazilian Cairo Santos, who connected on the pair of field goals he executed, were the key to getting the victory.

The Chiefs had no answer

 

Chris Oladokun was on the field for Kansas City for some time and he did not had a good night. He only completed nine of his 16 passes and suffered two interceptions. It was a long night, and two of their three touchdowns came late when the game was out of reach.

The only positive was the announcement of a four-year, $72 million contract extension for 25-year-old Creed Humphrey, who became the highest-paid center in NFL history. The two-time champion with Kansas City, will earn an average of $18 million per year, an amount that surpasses the record of $14.25 million that belonged to former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who retired last March.

A sad sight did occur after Douglas Coleman III, a 26-year-old defensive back, suffered a blow to the head that left him lying on the field. He was removed by the emergency cart and taken to a hospital to diagnose the severity of his injury.

Social media erupted with frustrated Chiefs supporters demanding adjustments, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, where the team appeared vulnerable. Some fans are even calling for changes in the coaching staff, questioning whether the current strategy is sustainable against top-tier opponents.

 

As the Bears celebrate their flawless preseason, the Chiefs are left to regroup and reassess. With the regular season just around the corner, the pressure is on Kansas City to address the glaring weaknesses exposed by the Bears and make the necessary adjustments to ensure they remain contenders in the highly competitive AFC.
