I would imagine the Bears' Secondary and lack of quality pass rush depth is going to make Sunday a much more familiar offensive showcase for the Chiefs.

Between the lack of talent on that defense, and the Bears DC resigning mid week, it should be a rough day for them. I'll be interested to see if the defensive gameplan is a total wreck and this game gets ugly, or if the element of surprise of having a new defensive coordinator for the game works in their favor a bit, at least at the start.
From the Chiefs offensive gameplan perspective, it'll be interesting to see what they do. Reid has shown that in games where they are heavily favored that he's not going to show the whole playbook. If they get up early, do they use to game to work on running the ball? Or maybe try to get some younger receivers like Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross going more?
As confident as I want to be in this one (and I pretty confident they'll win), I'm reminded of games like vs. Houston last year where they played down and barely pulled it out.
