Chicago running back Jordan Howard, who entered the game with 1,032 rushing yards, was limited to 37 yards on 10 carries. He also caught four passes for 26 yards for the Bears (4-10). Kendall Wright hauled in seven passes for 81 yards.

Chiefs 30, Chargers 13

Fueled by timely plays from the offense and defense in a playoff-type atmosphere, the Kansas City Chiefs regained sole possession of the AFC West lead with a 30-13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. He added a game-high seven catches for 51 yards and a touchdown.

Alex Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns.
