Bengals Blow 47–42 Shootout to Bears as Defense Collapses in Final 37 Seconds

Ja'Marr Chase's outburst sharpened focus on a unit that has yielded 500-plus yards in consecutive games.

Overview

  • Chicago drove 72 yards in 37 seconds for the winning score, capping the game with a 58-yard touchdown after Cincinnati had taken a late 42-41 lead.
  • The Bengals surrendered 576 total yards, 30 first downs, an 8-of-15 mark on third down and both fourth-down tries, while Caleb Williams threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns.
  • The loss drops Cincinnati to 3-6 following a Week 8 defeat in which the defense allowed 504 yards and a late go-ahead drive to the Jets.
  • Video captured Ja'Marr Chase yelling "One f***ing stop" after the game, and he later said he would "stay in my lane" rather than confront defensive teammates.
  • With a Week 10 bye and the trade deadline approaching, speculation about roster changes has intensified, though reports indicate Trey Hendrickson and Logan Wilson are unlikely to be moved.
