The eliminated Bears have vowed to sprint through the finish line, and that's exactly what Rich and Dan are doing as well. From the Halas Hall coat closet, they preview Sunday night's game against the Chiefs. They examine how the Chiefs' partnership of coach Andy Reid and MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes contextualizes the Bears' offensive struggles — from unproven coach Matt Nagy to inconsistent quarterback Mitch Trubisky and an inferior supporting cast. They spotlight the Bears' lack of long touchdowns ahead of the Chiefs' visit, knowing the Chiefs lead the NFL in touchdowns from their side of midfield since 2018 began. They look at Saints quarterback Drew Brees' all-time touchdown pass record and match that with the Bears best quarterbacks of all-time. They analyze Dan's three keys to a Bears victory, including a fast start and the matchup problem Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce presents. They offer their final score predictions, wonder about Akiem Hicks' iffy status and look at the three Bears Pro Bowlers.
