Overview
- Caleb Williams hit rookie Colston Loveland for a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left to cap Chicago’s 47-42 win, and Joe Flacco’s final Hail Mary was intercepted.
- Cincinnati surrendered 576 yards — the most by any team this season — becoming just the 10th NFL team to allow 275-plus passing and rushing yards in the same game.
- Joe Flacco posted a career-high 470 passing yards with four touchdowns and led a late rally after a successful onside kick, but the Bengals fell to 3-6 entering their bye.
- The Bengals are the first team since 1966 to score 38 or more in consecutive games and lose both, part of multi-game trends of 500-plus yards allowed and persistent high points conceded.
- Frustration spilled over with Ja’Marr Chase and Chase Brown voicing anger about late-game stops, and Fox’s Jay Glazer reported the team may now entertain offers for Trey Hendrickson ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
