Johnny Knox seems to have a good on-field relationship with Caleb Hanie and both he and the Bears should benefit from it.
Here is a look at hypothetical propositional wagers between the Bears and Chiefs.
First team to score
Bears. The Bears defense gave a supreme effort last week but they just couldn’t sustain 60 minutes of keeping the Raiders out of the end zone while battling poor field position and excess time on the field. This week, they face a much less potent offense that isn’t likely to find the scoreboard more than a few times.
First Bears player to score
Robbie Gould. Unless I see differently, I’m not sure the Bears can put up an early first-quarter touchdown for the rest of the season with Hanie at the helm, which is why I like Gould’s chances of getting on the scoreboard first.
First Bears player to catch a pass
Earl Bennett. Fresh off a new contract, Bennett should get involved in the game plan from the outset because he’s the Bears’ ...

Bears believe Hanie will keep improving
As the Bears prepare to host the Chiefs Sunday at Soldier Field, they're expecting quarterback Caleb Hanie to pick up right where he left off in the second half of last week's loss to the Raiders.
Can Hanie Handle It?
I will discuss whether or not Caleb Hanie can keep the Bears going until Jay Culter comes back.
Mark Potash’s Bears pick
chiefs AT bears Time: Noon. Line: Bears by 7. Records (overall/ATS): Chiefs 4-7/6-5; Bears 7-4/6-5. Fast fact: Caleb Hanie had a 97.7 rating in the second half vs. the Raiders last week — 107.8 without two spikes. Outlook: Barring inclement weather, Hanie should be much improved in his second NFL start — against a Chiefs defense that ranks 20th in the NFL and is last with 13...
Bears’ grades in loss to Chiefs
Quarterback (F) Caleb Hanie didn’t have Tyler Palko’s luck, but he didn’t play well enough to deserve it, either. He was 11-for-24 for 133 yards with 3 INTs and a 23.8 rating. Running backs (C-) Matt Forte (5 carries, 12 yards) left in the first quarter with a knee injury. Marion Barber (14-44) and Kahlil Bell (4-34) helped fill the void, but the Bears missed Forte’s all...
Chiefs snap four-game losing streak in dramatic fashion
This particular Chiefs-Bears tussle will not be saved and replayed as an NFL classic.
The winning touchdown was a gift, on a "Hail Mary" pass that should have had no chance and a potential equalizer was waved off because a wide-open receiver didn't bother to line up properly.
The result, however, remained critical for the Chiefs, who won 10-3 at Soldier Field to...

Chicago Bears vs. Kansas City Chiefs Preview
Let’s be honest here; the Chicago Bears are a better football team than the Kansas City Chiefs. Even without quarterback Jay Cutler, Caleb Hanie is better than the Chiefs signal caller Tyler Palko. Even if Kyle Orton takes over under center, he’s certainly better than Palko but you’ll not convince me he’s a guy that will light things up at Soldier Field. On...
A Battle of the Bruised
This week is a battle between two bruised teams. Both squads have lost their starting quarterbacks and are struggling on offense.
The Chiefs do not seem to believe Tyler Palko is the answer and we may very well see newly acquired Kyle Orton take the field this week. Palko turned the ball over four times last week and Kansas City has only scored one touchdown in their past four...
McCown, Moore inactive for Bears vs. Chiefs
Looks like Josh McCown still has some catching up to do: The man who was brought in to be No. 2 quarterback behind Chicago Bears starter Caleb Hanie is inactive for the second straight game Sunday, with rookie Nathan Enderle serving as Hanie's backup.
