A game that ended with a dramatic walk-off touchdown when the Chicago 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.
“Offensively, the first two possessions was really sloppy football that has plugged us in and out of camp so far, and unfortunately that’s what we got here tonight,” Johnson said.
Quarterback Caleb Williams and the offensive starters played 27 snaps over two full quarters in the Bears’ preseason finale at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
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.
