Bears seek ways 'to keep moving forward' after 41-10 loss - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A turbulent week filled with off-field distractions for the Chicago Bears culminated in one of the most lopsided losses in recent franchise history.

The Bears suffered a 41-10 defeat against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs to extend their losing streak to 13, the longest active streak in the NFL.

«We just got our ass kicked,» Bears tight end Cole Kmet said. «That's probably No. 1. I can't think of a game I've had in a long time that looked like that.»

Chicago is off to its first 0-3 start since 2016 and has given up 106 points, its second-most allowed through three games in team history. After the sudden resignation of former defensive coordinator Alan Williams last Wednesday, the same day quarterback Justin Fields pointed to coaching as the reason he felt he played «robotic» in a Week 2 loss at Tampa Bay, the Bears are again searching for answers to halt an early-season skid.

«I would just say that everybody's got to take a hard look at what they're doing, in terms of the schemes we're running, what we're doing,» coach Matt Eberflus said. «We're charged with putting our players in the best position to execute, and that's what the coach does. And develop the players at the same time. We just got to do a better job. It's also on the players because it is a partnership, both of us together. The execution part on the field is always player and coach.»

Fields was unable to accomplish his goal of playing more freely against the Chiefs. He completed 11 of 22 passes for 99 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception and a 58.7 passer rating. It took Chicago nine possessions to score its first points of the game — a 21-yard field goal from Cairo Santos with 13:36 to play in the fourth quarter. The
