Cole Kmet's perfect answer buries the lead with Bears' biggest issue vs. Packers

The Chicago Bears' Week 16 showdown against the Green Bay Packers just got a whole lot tougher, as the team will be without two key offensive players.

Bears wide receivers Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze have both been ruled out of the game against the Packers with injuries. That leaves a massive gap at wide receiver that'll need to be filled by undrafted rookie Jahdae Walker and return specialist Devin Duvernay.

Speaking to reporters about the situation, Bears tight end Cole Kmet knows that not having Odunze and Burden is tough, but the team's mentality needs to be simple: the next man must step up.
