the bears are who I thought they were



Although I was thinking it at the time, it wasn't until I perused the play-by-play, that I saw how many chances the Chiefs had.

1st 0-0, 4th and 2 at CHI 42 -- punt
1st 0-0, 4th and 1 at KC 46 -- punt
2nd 0-14, 4th and 1 at KC 40 -- punt

4th 10-20, fleaflicker touchdown nullified by penalty
same drive, at CHI 30 -- field goal blocked
4th 10-20, 3rd and 1 at CHI 16 -- pass to endzone, picked off

Credit Chicago for the blocked field goal and the great interception, but blame the Chiefs for the shifting penalty and the poor playcalling for 3 scaredy-cat punts and a risky pass on 3rd and 1, when you need two scores. Even if LJ got stuffed, a field goal would have made it a 7-point game.
