Kansas City Chiefs Defense Looks To Step Up In Week 5 Game Against Chicago Bears
The Kansas City Chiefs had a recent three-game stretch against some of the best teams in the NFL, but did not pass the test with flying colors as the franchise now looks to snap a three-game losing skid against the Chicago Bears this Sunday.
After defeating the Houston Texans in the opening weekend by seven points on the road, the Chiefs let a home game against division opponent Denver Broncos slip through their fingers in the fourth quarter, were defeated handedly by the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football, and then lost by 15 points to the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
The NFL schedule finally lightens up for the Chiefs this week, as they host the 1-3 Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bears won their first game of the season last week as they’ve battled through injuries to quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who is looking to return to the field this Sunday after a three-game absence.
Tickets for the Chiefs game on the secondary market are right in the middle of the spectrum when looking at Kansas City’s upcoming games. According to TiqIQ.com, the average ticket price is $190.65 with a get-in price of $83 for Sunday’s affair. Next week against the Minnesota Vikings on the road, the average ticket price is $151.44 with a get-in price of $69, with the following week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers having an average price of $244.99 and a get-in price of $87.

Kansas City finds themselves in last place of the AFC West division at the quarter pole. The Broncos lead the way at 4-0, thanks in part to a defense that may be the best in football. The Oakland Raiders are improving every week with their young core and are at 2-2, the same record as the other division resident, the San Diego Chargers.
The Chiefs defense, mainly the secondary, has been one of the main issues for the team. The Chiefs are the fifth-worst ranked passing defense in the NFL, allowing 295.5 yards per game.
