Overview
- Chicago won on a 58-yard Caleb Williams strike to rookie Colston Loveland with 17 seconds left, capping a 576-yard day that marked the Bengals’ second straight game allowing 500-plus yards.
- Joe Flacco posted a career-high 470 passing yards with four touchdowns in the loss after leading two late scoring drives and an onside-kick-fueled rally.
- Cincinnati dropped to 3-6 with six losses in seven games and became the first team since the 1966 Giants to score 38 or more points in consecutive games and lose both.
- Frustration spilled into public view as Ja’Marr Chase was heard saying “one f—ing stop,” and RB Chase Brown urged the defense to “finish the f—ing game” during postgame remarks.
- Some defensive players declined media interviews, missed tackles reached 15 per Next Gen Stats, and the league’s worst yardage defense heads into a bye before hosting Pittsburgh on Nov. 16.
