The Chicago Bears are concluding the preseason against the Kansas City Chiefs in a Week 3 exhibition game Friday night at Arrowhead, and there are plenty of notable headlines ahead of roster cuts next week.
Following an impressive 38-0 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 of the preseason, where the starters played a couple of series, head coach Ben Johnson announced the starters will play in the preseason finale against the Chiefs. Quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense will look to build on their impressive start in last week's win while Dennis Allen's defense will look to continue their dominance. And they'll be facing a perennial Super Bowl contender in Kansas City, which will provide valuable experience.

Finally getting the ball into opponent's territory, the Bears would get into the red zone but would be held to just a field goal. Chicago gets on the board behind a 28-yard field goal from Cairo Santos. Kansas City continued their hot start in the game, coming out strong against the Bears as they opened the second quarter with a four-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Rashee Rice. The Chiefs scored both a rushing and passing touchdown in the first half against Chicago. Fighting for the starting third linebacker spot on the Bears defense, Noah Sewell was injured on the Bears third defensive drive. The team was reportedly taking a look at his left knee but after a short evaluation, he appears ready to return. Bears punt it away on ugly first offensive possession Coming off a very impressive showing in last week's win over Buffalo, the Bears offense had a very poor showing in their first drive against the Chiefs. There was a fumbled exchange between quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, then a false start that would put the Bears with their backs against the wall. After getting a 14-yard completion to DJ Moore on third down, Chicago would be forced to punt.
After getting excellent field position due to two Bears penalties, the Chiefs would make the most of their opportunity and running back Isiah Pacheco would find the end zone on a two-yard run. Kansas City wasted no time getting in the end zone against the Bears defense which shut out the Buffalo Bills last week. It was the Chiefs first TD at home in the preseason.
The Kanas City Chiefs got the ball on offense first and it didn't take long for Patrick Mahomes to take advantage of the Bears defense. On one play, the Bears were flagged for both pass interference on Nahshon Wright and an additional facemask penalty which gave Kansas City 30 yards on one play.
