The Bears borrowed this scoring play on Monday from Chiefs’ playbook

The Bears opened the scoring in Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with a 3-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to tight end Trey Burton.

Chicago faked a sweep and Burton found the space to get to the end zone after taking a shovel pass from Trubisky.

The Chiefs were farther from the end zone, but Kelce made a flying leap from the 5-yard line to get the score.

ESPN noted the similarities:
