Bears, Chiefs continue reliance on backup QBs

Why to watch
Two of the teams to recently lose their starting quarterbacks meet, with the Bears in a stretch of games against AFC West opponents. Caleb Hanie and Tyler Palko have been all about the turnovers thus far in their brief stints as starters, which could lead to some football follies material here.

Inside story
Matt Forte has carried the load a ton already and can't do much more than he already has. But the power running of Marion Barber has become a bigger part of the Bears' arsenal, and without Jay Cutler, will continue to be important. The Chiefs' front three has been beat up in recent weeks.
