Notes:  Chicago takes the ball away on Kansas City’s first drive and turns it into 7 points.  The Chiefs drive again, using RB Joe Delaney’s speed and some opportunistic rushes by QB Bill Kenney to get into field goal range.  The Bears, who 4 years later would dominate opponents on their way to the Super Bowl, do a good job of shutting down Kansas City’s offense.  In return, Kansas City also frustrates Walter Payton and the rest of Chicago’s running game.  The result is a field goal battle, made more difficult by wind and rain throughout the game.
