Statistical Breakdown: How the Bears and Chiefs stack up before Week 3 game

The Chicago Bears will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to rebound following another brutal loss in Week 2.

The Bears are coming off another brutal loss, a 27-17 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Chicago was in a position to win the game, but it was self-inflicted mistakes that led to another letdown. The Bears are now 0-2 and on an active 12-game losing streak with the Chiefs on deck. Not ideal.
