Studs and duds from Bears’ Week 16 loss to Chiefs

The Chicago Bears didn’t have anything at stake in Week 16, but their 26-3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs still left Bears fans with just as terrible of a feeling as the first seven losses.

Almost nothing seemed to go right for Chicago, with an offense failing to consistently move the ball down field and a defense overmatched against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

It continued a season-long pattern of ineffective quarterback play, questionable play-calling and a cast of receivers failing to play up to their talent level.

Chuck Pagano’s unit could only keep up for so long before the Chiefs’ multitude of weapons left the Bears a few steps behind, and the national audience saw just how far behind Chicago is from true contention.

Here are the studs and duds from the Sunday night matchup.
