Cincinnati Bengals vs. Chicago Bears Football Preview - 08-17-2024
Following their initial loss in preseason against Pittsburgh, the Bengals look to rebound with this road game against their longtime rival Chicago Bears. These teams have met five times previously with three wins going to Cincinnati; since they have not met in regular season action since last August however, this matchup could prove even more significant than usual.
Cincinnati currently ranks 16th in the NFL in terms of defensive rankings; however, they have allowed opponents a lot of yards this year and must improve in order to compete with elite teams like Chicago Bears (scored most points this season and one of top contenders for Super Bowl appearance). Cincinnati will face Chicago next week where their running and passing attack has scored the most points amongst all league opponents this year).
Last week, the Bears' offense was on fire against Buffalo, giving them momentum against Cincinnati to secure AFC North supremacy. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams led his team to victory with 95 passing yards in that victory; on Saturday against Cincinnati's tough defense he will likely need help from teammates; so to ensure this success is maintained the Bears signed veteran kicker Mike Nugent as part of their kicking stable on Monday to help ensure smooth performance from their rookie quarterback.
