The Chiefs are preparing for a showdown against the Bears

The meeting is between the Chiefs of the AFC West and the Chicago Bears of the NFC North. It is a significant clash because the Bears are one of the few teams that currently hold a historical advantage over the defending champs. Out of their past 13 meetings, the Bears lead the head-to-head tally at 7-6. But things have never looked this unforgiving for the Bears going into this matchup. After losing their first two games, they sit at the bottom of the NFC North, looking for some breathing space.
