Overview

  • Patrick Mahomes led three scoring drives in limited work, going 8-for-13 for 143 yards with a touchdown as Kansas City built a 20-3 lead.
  • Chicago kept its starters on the field through halftime, with Caleb Williams finishing 11-of-15 for 113 yards and a touchdown to Rome Odunze.
  • Backup Tyson Bagent, fresh off a two-year, $10 million extension, went 20-of-28 for 212 yards and three touchdowns, including the winner to Jahdae Walker with three seconds left.
  • The Bears’ defense struggled early against the Chiefs’ starters and special teams faltered as Cairo Santos hit a 47-yarder off the upright and had a PAT blocked.
  • Both teams now pivot to final roster cuts on Aug. 26 before openers set for Sept. 5 in Brazil for the Chiefs and Sept. 8 at home versus the Vikings for the Bears.
