The Chicago Bears will face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to rebound following an embarrassing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.
Chicago is coming off a 41-10 blowout loss to Kansas City, in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. The offense continued to struggle, the defense couldn’t do anything against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs and the coaches didn’t have their team prepared for a third straight game.
