Overview
- The Bears won on a 58-yard Caleb Williams strike to rookie Colston Loveland with 17 seconds left, moments after Cincinnati had taken a late lead.
- Cincinnati surrendered 576 total yards and became just the 10th NFL team to allow at least 275 passing and 275 rushing yards in a single game.
- The Bengals are the first team since the 1960s to score 38-plus points in back-to-back games and lose both, giving up 500-plus yards in each.
- Coach Zac Taylor called the defeat “sick,” while Ja'Marr Chase said “One [expletive] stop” and RB Chase Brown urged the defense to “Finish the [expletive] game.”
- Joe Flacco threw for 470 yards and four touchdowns as season-long trends persisted, including 33.3 points allowed per game and an eight-game run of conceding at least 27 points and 350 yards.
