Bears Officials could be in trouble following difficult seasons

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears host the New York Giants on Sunday in a matchup of teams that could be in for big changes following difficult seasons. Bears coach Matt Nagy could be fired, ending a four-year run that fizzled after winning the NFC North in his first season. General manager Ryan Pace has an uncertain future after seven years and zero playoff victories. The picture is also unclear on the other side. Giants GM Dave Gettleman could be out after four losing seasons, whether it’s his choice or not. But with two games remaining, both teams hope to finish strong.

Next door in Missouri:

— The Kansas City Chiefs have downgraded running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to out of Sunday’s game in Cincinnati. Edwards-Helaire hurt his shoulder early in the second half of last weekend’s romp past Pittsburgh. He did not participate in practice this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report before being downgraded Saturday. The Chiefs activated running back Jerick McKinnon off injured reserve, where he’d been recovering from a hamstring injury, and planned for him to make the trip to Cincinnati.
