Schrock’s Bears report card: Grading Justin Fields, offense, defense in loss vs. Chiefs originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A turbulent week for the Bears ended Sunday with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs beating the charter franchise so bad they might want to consider closing up shop.
A 41-10 thrashing at Arrowhead Stadium doesn’t do Sunday’s beatdown justice. The Chiefs punted on their opening possession but scored on their next seven to take a 41-0 lead.

Fields Grade: F
GRADE: F
Rushing offense

Fields rushed 11 times for 47 yards, while Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert rushed 15 times for 69 yards.
Did I mention the offensive line stinks?
GRADE: F
Pass Defense
I don’t want to be too hard on a unit already down Eddie Jackson and Kyler Gordon before losing Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson in the first half.
As you might expect, Mahomes flambeed the…
