Chicago Bears 20, Kansas City Chiefs 12
Bad offense and coaching did the Chiefs in on Sunday afternoon. The bad coaching was the fact that the Chiefs kept kicking the football to Devin Hester who returned 5 punts for 143 yards (28.6 avg) including one return for a 73-yard TD. It’s a shame that Edwards was dumb enough to challenge Hester because the Chiefs’ defense played a good game. The linebackers were all outstanding for the Chiefs yesterday. Napoleon Harris led the way for the Chiefs’ defense with 12 tackles, a sack and a interception. Donnie Edwards (9 tackles, interception) and Derrick Johnson (7 tackles, 2 sacks) were also flying all over the football field. The Chiefs held the Bears to 107 yards rushing on 29 carries (3.7 ypc) and the Bears completed 20 of 34 passes for 132 yards.
The “offense” was pretty dreadful again. Damon Huard started the game and he completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. Brodie Croyle relieved Huard late in the game and he completed all four of his pass attempts for 55 yards. Larry Johnson couldn’t find much running room against the Bears’ stern defense as he rushed for 55 yards on 16 carries (3.4 ypc). He also caught 3 passes for 32 yards (10.7 avg). Michael Bennett also had a rough game as he carried the ball 7 times for 14 yards (2.0 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 20 yards (6.7 avg). WR Jeff Webb led the way in the passing game for the Chiefs as he caught 4 passes for 59 yards (14.8 avg). Tony Gonzalez (4 rec, 43 yards) and fullback Kris Wilson (4 rec, 34 yards) were handing the short stuff in the passing game. Rookie WR Dwyane Bowe caught 2 passes for 22 yards and a TD. The Chiefs finished the game with 70 yards rushing on 24 carries (2.9 ypc) and they completed 23 of 32 passes for 211 yards.
