How to watch KC Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears in NFL preseason: Kickoff time, TV, odds

The quarterbacks who meet for Thursday’s NFL preseason finale in Kansas City did some special things in their previous game.

The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes flicked a behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce for a first down.

Chicago Bears rookie Caleb Williams’ spinning, across-his-body completion to Rome Odunze drew comparisons to Mahomes.

But will either quarterback play when the teams meet at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium?

Andy Reid said Mahomes and the Chiefs starters are unlikely to see action.

“I’ll probably sit the starters the way it looks right now,” Reid said Monday.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus will make the call on Williams this week. It would be fun to see him go up against the two-time Super Bowl champs, at least for a couple of series.
