When the Chicago Bears host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, there will be two teams headed in different directions in January.
The Chiefs, who won the AFC West, will be preparing to make a run in the playoffs. The Bears, on the other hand, will be preparing for a long offseason with a laundry list of needs to address and questions to be answered.
Still, this is a game that is not short on storylines. This isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time this week, that you’ll hear about this game as the Mitchell Trubisky vs. Patrick Mahomes game. That there needs to be a game played to validate that the Chiefs choose the better quarterback. It also won’t be the last time you hear about Matt Nagy vs. Andy Reid, as Nagy faces off against his former mentor.
With nothing left to play for, aside from pride, there’s still a lot to be gauged from these final two games. Can Trubisky rediscover what made him magic in the last two games? Will Nagy adjust his offense? Will there be any reassurance about the run game heading into the offseason? How will the Bears defense fare about Mahomes?
