LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- No matter how gloomy things seem this season, the Chicago Bears insist they are better than the record shows.A few more wins would help their argument.They could start to salvage something from this season when they meet the Jacksonville Jaguars in a matchup of last-place teams on Sunday.Were so close, Chicago linebacker Willie Young said. And when you go back and look at the film and you see a couple of plays, I guess every game, wins or losses, come down to a few plays. And to see how close we are is a lot of motivation.The Bears (1-4) were hoping to make a jump in coach John Foxs second season after winning just six games last season.Its not playing out that way.Chicago has been hit hard by injuries and inconsistent play and comes into this game last in the NFC North after losing at Indianapolis a week ago.The Jaguars (1-3) were off after beating Indianapolis in London. They still have a chance to climb in the AFC South if they can pick up a rare road win, something they have done just four times in 25 games in coach Gus Bradleys four seasons.They have played considerably better after the break during Bradleys tenure -- winning four of five in 2013 and two of three last season.And while theyre last in the division, theyre only a half-game behind Tennessee and Indianapolis and 1+ games back of first-place Houston.Here are some things to look for from the Bears and Jaguars:LITTLE CONSISTENCY: Last weeks game was a case study in inconsistency for the Bears. And thats something they hope to change on Sunday.Against the Colts, Brian Hoyer delivered his third straight 300-yard passing effort and had his QB rating rise to 108.5 for the season.But he did not see an open Alshon Jeffery in the end zone on the Bears final offensive play -- an incompletion. Receiver Cameron Meredith had nine catches for 130 yards filling in for the injured Kevin White, but fumbled in the fourth quarter.Chicago had 522 yards of offense for its highest total since 1989, but had one touchdown on three tries in the red zone. The Bears rank 30th in points per game even though they are ninth in total offense.TURNOVER-FREE FOOTBALL: Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played turnover-free football against Indianapolis in London. It was just the seventh time in 33 starts the third-year pro avoided throwing an interception or fumbling. The Jaguars are 5-2 in those games, accounting for more than half of Bortles nine career victories. He had seven turnovers, including six interceptions, in the first three games this season.Its more so not forcing things, not trying to make plays down the field early in games when theyre not there, he said.ROOKIES DELIVER: The Jaguars are getting significant contributions from four rookies on defense -- five if you count defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., who missed his rookie season with a knee injury. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, linebacker Myles Jack and defensive tackle Sheldon Day have turned in solid performances in the first four games.We are going to continue to push them, defensive coordinator Todd Wash said. And we expect them to continue to play well.WORTH WATCHING: The matchup between Ramsey and Jeffery could be a good one.Ramsey has been impressive so far and highly effective in Jacksonvilles pressing scheme. Jeffery, tied for 11th in the NFL in receiving, has not caught more than five passes or been targeted more than seven times this season. But he remains one of the leagues most dangerous receivers.SHUFFLING `D: The Bears have been forced to shuffle their rotation on defense. And they might have more switches this week.Chris Prosinski could start at safety after replacing Harold Jones-Quartey during the loss to the Colts. And cornerback Bryce Callahan might sit out with a hamstring injury, leading to playing time for Jacoby Glenn, rookies Deiondre Hall and CreVon LeBlanc.The secondary has been banged up, starting with cornerback Kyle Fullers knee surgery before the regular season.Injuries to linebackers Danny Trevathan, Lamarr Houston and nose tackle Eddie Goldman have made things more difficult, yet Chicago ranks 14th in yards allowed after finishing 19th last season.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Jordan 4 Australia .

Youre going to have weeks where you have injuries, said Nick Foles, who started in place of injured quarterback Alex Smith. You have to step up and make plays.Foles threw for 187 yards and a first-half touchdown toss to Albert Wilson, and helped to set up four field goals by Cairo Santos, as Kansas City (6-2) won its 10th consecutive home game.Meanwhile, the Jaguars (2-6) couldnt overcome four turnovers -- including a fumble at the goal line in the fourth quarter -- in their first game with quarterback coach Nathaniel Hackett directing the offense .Bortles was 22 of 41 for 252 yards and two touchdowns with a pick, showing little improvement after a week spent with his personal coach, Adam Dedeaux . His wide receivers hardly helped him, dropping several passes, including an early fourth-down throw that cost Jacksonville a chance at points.I thought Nathaniel called a great game, Bortles said. To run for 200 yards and throw for 200, or whatever, I thought it was awesome. If you look at the stat sheet minus the turnovers theres no way you say Kansas City won. But unfortunately, thats part of the game.Chris Ivory rumbled for 107 yards in the biggest bright spot for Jacksonville, but he fumbled going over the goal-line with 8:28 left in the game. The Jaguars quickly got the ball back, and Bortles hit T.J. Yeldon to get within 19-14 with 4:10 to go, but the extra time it took to score proved costly.They got the ball back with 3:01 remaining, and a long scamper by Bortles gave them a chance. But his pass on fourth-and-3 at the Kansas City 32 was batted to the ground and the Chiefs ran out the clock.We had four turrnovers and when you do that, any game in the NFL is hard to win, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said.ddddddddddddAnd for us, we did it at critical times.The Chiefs played the whole way without Smith and starting running back Spencer Ware, who were out with head injuries, and offensive guard Parker Ehinger, who went on injured reserve with a knee injury.Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin hurt his groin on the Chiefs first series and did not return, and tight end Travis Kelce was tossed from the game in the fourth quarter after arguing over a pass interference no-call, then tossing his towel at the official as if it was a flag.As soon as the ref took off his hat (to throw), I knew I was out. Felt like an idiot, he said. It was a terrible decision, but just have to learn from it and keep going.What did Kelce learn from it?I cant throw my flag at the ref, he replied. He can throw his all day long.INJURIESJaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns left early in the second half with an ankle injury. He returned to the game, only to sustain a concussion while trying to make a catch later in the half. ... Jacksonville linebacker Myles Jack left with a hip injury.STATS AND STREAKSThe Chiefs have won three straight against Jacksonville. ...

Davis was traded to Green Bay three weeks ago, cut after two games and signed with the New York Jets. He was cut again hours later, allowing him to return to Kansas City. It felt like I was home, he said.UP NEXT: The Jaguars return home to face the Texans on Sunday, while the Chiefs expect to have Alex Smith back when they visit Carolina.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
