While the Bears aren’t fighting for playoff contention, there’s still plenty left to watch in their primetime game against the Chiefs.

3. Can the Bears offense get back on track?

While the offense has been an unmitigated disaster this season, they had made strides over the previous two games before last week’s disappointment against the Packers. There was plenty to blame for the offense’s struggles last week — play calling, lack of a run game, inconsistent quarterback play.

But the question becomes: Can the offense get back on track where they found success three weeks earlier? While the Chiefs are a middle of the pack defense, they’ve been growing into themselves over the last few weeks. So it won’t be an easy task for Mitchell Trubisky and this offense. But if Matt Nagy goes back to what this offense does well — up-tempo, getting the run game going, utilizing Trubisky’s mobility — then perhaps they can rediscover the spark that was 13 weeks in the making for this offense.
