He’s topped 100 yards in all but one game this season (Week 3- GB), so look for Kansas City to get him the ball as much as possible.

The Chiefs have been disappointing on offense and defense.
The outcome was minor compared to what was a greater loss for the Chiefs. He will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the initial prognosis.
Cutler finished with 26-for-45 passing for 252 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions for the first time in 2015. “You’ve just got to go through it”.
Late in the first quarter, the Bears got on the scoreboard with a 44-yard field goal from Robbie Gould that made it 7-3.
It’s weird because the Chiefs were always “the team” in Kansas City when I was growing up, which is amusing considering they never won a championship or even a playoff game during my childhood. Eight plays and 106 seconds later, Cutler connected with Forte for a 7-yard touchdown throw that sealed the comeback. He has four catches for 20 yards or more and 13 of his receptions have gone for first downs. But that’s when disaster struck on a first-and-goal run from the Chicago 9-yard line. Charles went down to the ground grabbing his right knee on a non-contact play against the Chicago Bears Sunday, and he had to be helped off the field.
Charles missed most of the 2012 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee.
Since running back is already such a thin position in the league, you still may have to take a chance with one of them for Week 6. In crunch time, the defense has been unable to step up and stop an opponent in the fourth quarter. The Bears’ third-round pick rallied from the early adversity and played serviceably against a powerful Chiefs defensive line.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid looks at the scoreboard during the second half of an NFL football game against the Chicago Bears in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday, October 11, 2015. Chicago has appeared not very settled on the Offensive Line this season and according to the Chicago Tribune, it is a problem they will have to fix quickly by finding the right pieces.
Cutler’s second-down pass fell incomplete – he was pressured on the play – which led to third down, when Cutler’s deep pass to Wilson also landed incomplete.
To Cutler’s credit, he brought the Bears back from a 17-3 deficit while working without receivers Alshon Jeffery or Eddie Royal, left tackle Jermon Bushrod and center Will Montgomery. He ran 18 times for 71 yards against the Chiefs and caught five passes for 38 yards, including the winning score.
– The Patriots (Dont’a Hightower; rib), Bears (Shea McClellin; knee), Cardinals (Alex Okafor and Kenny Demens, both knees) and Lions (DeAndre Levy; hip) lost linebackers, too. He came out of last week’s game and was replaced by rookie LB Ramik Wilson.
“I think Adam [Gase, offensive coordinator] and Mike [Groh, receivers coach] put a lot of trust in the quarterbacks just to help coach these guys up”, Cutler said, then smiled. “We don’t have anybody to blame but ourselves”. As it stands, both teams are tied for most points allowed by a defense, which is over 300 plus yards per game.
