Bears and Chiefs Clash in Preseason Showdown: A Glimpse of the Future?
21 Aug
Summary
- Chiefs are the model franchise the Bears hope to emulate
- Mahomes and Williams will lead their offenses for a few series
- Game is seen as a potential Super Bowl preview for 2027

On August 22, 2025, the Chicago Bears (1-0-1) and the Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) will meet in the preseason finale, a matchup that some are calling a potential Super Bowl preview for the 2027 season.
The Chiefs have been the franchise the Bears aspire to become. After decades of searching for a championship-winning quarterback and head coach, the Chiefs found their formula in the Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid partnership, which led them to a Super Bowl title in 2019. Their championship window remains wide open.
While Mahomes and Bears' QB Caleb Williams will not see extended playing time, it will still be an intriguing sight to see them leading their respective offenses for a few series. The Bears are hoping to follow in the Chiefs' footsteps and establish themselves as a perennial contender.
The game will take place at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, with kickoff scheduled for 7:20 p.m. CT on Friday, August 22. The weather is expected to be sunny early, with temperatures reaching a high of 88 degrees and dipping to 69 in the evening, with a chance of rain.
