In their final preseason game before the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs will be hosting the Chicago Bears at GEHA Field in Arrowhead Stadium. The game is scheduled to kick off on Thursday at 7:20 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) and will be broadcast locally on KCMI/38 and nationwide on NFL Network.

The defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, are coming off two preseason losses. They faced a 26-13 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road and a narrow 24-23 loss against the Detroit Lions at home. With a desire to assess their backup players further, head coach Andy Reid does not intend to play the starters in this final preseason contest. Reid expressed his intention to give the second and third string players more opportunities, allowing them to have a chance to showcase their skills in a game situation.

On the other side, the Chicago Bears have enjoyed a successful preseason so far. They secured victories in both of their preseason matchups, defeating the Buffalo Bills 33-6 in Week 1 and the Cincinnati Bengals 27-3 in Week 2. While the Bears have been victorious, head coach Matt Eberflus plans to rest most of his starters for this game, including their quarterback Caleb Williams, who was the first overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Both teams will be looking to make roster decisions soon, as they must reduce their 90-man rosters to 53 players by Tuesday, August 27 at 3 p.m. (Arrowhead Time). With limited playing time for the starters and a focus on evaluating the depth players, this preseason finale will give coaching staffs valuable insights as they shape their final rosters for the regular season.

Fans can catch the action live on the Chiefs radio broadcast featuring Mitch Holthus, Danan Hughes, and Josh Klingler on KFNZ (96.5 FM and 610 AM-Kansas City), WDAF (106.5 FM-Kansas City), and Chiefs Radio Network affiliates.
