No one expected the Chicago Bears to upset the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. In fact, most probably expected the defending Super Bowl champions to cruise over one of the league’s worst teams. And even that feels like an understatement of how abysmal the Bears looked against the Chiefs in Kansas City.
In the first half, Chicago ran 22 offensive plays, scored zero points, and averaged 3.9 yards per play. The Chiefs, meanwhile, accumulated over 300 yards of offense and scored 34 points seemingly without breaking a sweat. And that is just one overarching indication of the chasm between what looks like the NFL’s worst team (the Bears) and a team that could repeat with another Super Bowl (the Chiefs):
It’s just three weeks into the season, but the Bears are probably already in “tank for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye” territory with another potential No. 1 overall pick in April. They haven’t been remotely competitive and resemble a squad who has — for all intents and purposes — quit without a fight. This tough Chicago situation, as many NFL fans started to believe, probably won’t get much better any time soon.
The longest losing streak (between years) in NFL history is 26. These Bears, theoretically, could break that mark if they don’t win before the end of the season. It is that bad in Chicago.
This was how Twitter reacted to the Chiefs running the Bears off the field in one half

The #Bears are really the worst team in the league through three games. It’s not even close. It’s pathetic – it’s just not acceptable.

If you think your team is the worst team in the NFL and your team ain’t the Bears then you are lying to yourself!!

The Bears had the worst record in the NFL last year and somehow they’re even worse this year, gotta say I’m impressed.

Me looking at the Dolphins-Broncos 70-20 score: well at least the Bears won't have the worst loss of the day

Great news about the Bears being the worst team in the NFL is that Caleb Williams won’t land in the NFC West.
