1. CHICAGO BEARS (H)

Without question, the Chicago Bears stand out by far as the easiest opponent the Chiefs will face next season. The game already screams mismatch: the #1 seed in the AFC taking on the worst team in the league.

The Bears were diabolical this season, finishing with the worst record in the NFL with three wins and 14 losses. Chicago’s defense ranked 29th in the league in yards per game (375.9) and dead last in points per game (27.2), and they are set to take on a Chiefs team that leads the NFL in both of those categories.

It might be hard to remember, but Chicago actually got off to a decent start to the season, winning two of their first three games. But things went downhill from there. The Bears went on to lose 13 of their last 14 games, ending the year with a 10-game losing streak.

To make things even easier for the Chiefs, the game will be played at Arrowhead.

The Bears are a bad team with a ton of holes, ones that not even the first-overall pick in the NFL draft can fill. This will be Kansas City’s easiest opponent next season, by far.
