The Chicago Bears' winning streak has been overshadowed by a significant injury to a key offensive player. Tight end Cole Kmet will not catch another pass for the team in the 2026 season due to a knee injury sustained during their recent victory over the New England Patriots.
The Bears secured their fifth consecutive win with a 30-24 score, improving their record to 5-2. While quarterback Caleb Williams had a strong outing with 308 passing yards and two touchdowns, and kicker Cairo Santos delivered a career-long 58-yard field goal to seal the win, the loss of Kmet is a considerable blow to the team's offensive capabilities.
