The Chicago Bears entered the preseason finale with momentum but failed to sustain it in Kansas City. Offensive starters, including Caleb Williams, played 27 snaps across two quarters and produced just 22 yards on the first two drives. Williams fumbled a jet-sweep exchange with Olamide Zaccheaus and tight end Colston Loveland drew a false-start penalty, creating a second-and-19 that stalled the offense. Williams was later sacked by Chiefs tackle Chris Jones after holding the ball nearly six seconds. The backups rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit and scored a walk-off touchdown to win 29-27. Coach Ben Johnson called the early offense "really sloppy football."
The momentum built up by the Chicago Bears from a strong week of practice and shutout victory over the Buffalo Bills quickly vanished Friday night during the team's third preseason game in Kansas City. A game that ended with a dramatic walk-off touchdown when the Bears' backups thundered back from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat the Chiefs 29-27 started in a way that irked coach Ben Johnson.
Chicago's first two drives netted 22 total yards and ended with consecutive punts. On the Bears' first play of their first drive, Williams fumbled an exchange with wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus on a jet sweep. On the next play, tight end Colston Loveland was flagged for a false start. The Bears faced second-and-19 from their own 21-yard line and could not gain any momentum.
