The Kansas City Chiefs put on a commanding performance against the struggling Chicago Bears, winning 41-10. Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs with 272 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Isiah Pacheco contributed with 62 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Kansas City (2-1) took control of the game from the start, scoring the first 41 points before allowing Chicago (0-3) to score in the fourth quarter. Mahomes, despite a minor ankle tweak late in the first half, displayed his passing prowess, completing 24 of 33 passes and connecting with Jerick McKinnon for two touchdowns.
The Bears continued their losing streak, now at 13 consecutive losses dating back to the previous season, and have conceded at least 25 points in each of their games this season.
The Chiefs dominated the first half, heading into halftime with a 34-0 lead. They outgained the Bears 312-85 in total yards during the opening half and secured 22 first downs compared to Chicago’s four.
Kansas City’s offense came alive in the first quarter, breaking its trend of slow starts this season. The connection between Mahomes and McKinnon resulted in a touchdown, kickstarting a series of successful drives.
Mistakes and missed execution plagued the Bears in the first half, contributing to Kansas City’s lead. A fumble by Chicago running back Khalil Herbert led to a Harrison Butker field goal, while an interception thrown by Justin Fields, coupled with a dropped pass by DJ Moore, allowed the Chiefs to take over at the Chicago 26-yard line and score a touchdown three plays later.
Despite the Bears’ change in defensive play-calling duties due to the resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams, the Chiefs’ offense proved too much to handle.
Kansas City’s offensive explosion in this game nearly equaled its combined point production from the first two games of the season, signaling a strong performance that could set the tone for future matchups.
