Kansas City - 10, Chicago Bears - 3

This had to be the most terrible game of the day to watch.  Tyler Palko (158 total yards, 1 TD) finally got a TD pass; he just needed a deflection on a halftime hail mary to get it.  If it weren’t for that score, the Bears and Chiefs might have ended in a 3-3 tie, as Caleb Hanie (136 total yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs) couldn’t do much of anything to move the ball.  With Jay Cutler out, it looks more and more likely the Bears will miss the post-season.

Dwayne Bowe (4-49) led the Chiefs receivers, but that wasn’t say a whole lot.  Steve Breaston (5-41) also had similar numbers to Bowe, but neither have been very worthy of more than a flex play during the Palko era.  With a date with Revis Island and the Jets next week, you’re not going to want anything to do with this squad for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

With how terrible Hanie was in this game, it was a small miracle that Johnny Knox (5-53) still ended up with decently useable stats.  Devin Hester (3-32) made his return as well, but that didn’t matter much.

Dexter McCluster (9 car., 61 yards; 4 rec., 46 yards, 1 TD) had a pretty nice game made even nicer by the fact that he caught the deflected hail mary TD pass.  The Chiefs are trying to get the ball more and more to McCluster, and he’s turning into a poor man’s Darren Sproles the last couple of weeks.
Matt Forte (5 car., 12 yards) owners everywhere held their collective breaths when he went down with a knee injury in the first quarter.  The Bears are saying it’s just an MCL sprain, but he could still miss time at the most inopportune time for fantasy purposes.
