So far the Kansas City Chiefs have yet to win a game, but no one is sounding an alarm just yet. Tis the nature of preseason football, where schemes are vanilla and the results are meaningless. It's all about evaluating roster competitions, kicking off the preseason rust, installing ideas, and staying healthy.
To that end, the Chiefs won't be playing any of their starters in Thursday's game against the visiting Chicago Bears and and the visitors are expected to follow suit. That means anyone taking in the preseason finale at Arrowhead will be hoping for surprise performances from fringe roster players on both sides.
For those wanting to watch from afar, we've got you covered. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know.
Bears-Chiefs TV channel:
Things can get confusing wondering how to watch the Kansas City Chiefs these days and that's no different when it comes to the team's third and final preseason exhibition. The Bears and Chiefs will take the field on KMCI—38 the Spot—locally in the K.C. metro area.
For those streaming, you can catch the game on the NFL Network, FUBO-TV, and/or on the NFL+ app.
Bears-Chiefs announcers:
Ari Wolfe will be the primary play-by-play announcer for the evening's contest with color commentary provided by longtime Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. Chiefs reporter Matt McMullen will take on sideline reporting duties for the night.
Bears vs. Chiefs recent outcomes:
Matchups between these franchises aren't all that common. It's sad to say, but long-term success has evaded both teams, especially at the same time, so there's never been a single postseason game between them. Beyond that, the NFL calendar dictates they play every four seasons and that's it.
The Bears hosted the Chiefs last September and were trounced by a final score of 41-10, a game made famous by Patrick Mahomes crossing the 25K yards passing mark and Taylor Swift sitting with Donna Kelce in the stands. The Bears last beat the Chiefs in 2015 in a close 18-17 game, but the Chiefs have won three of the last four. Overall, the series is tied 7-7.
