Bears bengals score series#

Series History : The two teams have met each other 11 times, with the Cincinnati Bengals winning 6 games and the Chicago Bears winning 5 games. Location: Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois Who: Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) AT Chicago Bears (0-1) They surprised division rival Minnesota Vikings for a Week 1 victory and enter the game 1-0. Their opponent might not have the pieces to contend just yet but they still present a challenge with an exciting young quarterback in last year's first overall pick- Joe Burrow and plenty of weapons on offense. The good news? It’s only Week 1 and Chicago has the chance to rebound against a rebuilding Cincinnati Bengals squad.

The defense struggled mightily especially in the secondary where bot safeties looked lost and confused the whole night. Starting quarterback Andy Dalton didn’t throw for a touchdown but did have an interception in an average performance. They moved the ball on offense racking up 322 total yards but only scored 14 points. Week 1 didn’t end too well for the Chicago Bears, as they fell to the Los Angeles Rams 34-14. Prediction: Bengals 21, Bears 17 List Bengals vs.(Photo: Kareem Elgazzar, USA TODAY Sports) This is a very, very winnable game, more so than the opener. It’s something the defense needs to be aware of, but Chicago is foolishly adamant he’s not ready to be the starter, which is good news for the Bengals.Ĭhicago’s defense at home might keep this one close, but the clutch gene displayed by Burrow last week is hard to ignore. but last week, he completed just two passes for 10 yards and rushed for a short-yardage score. Keep in mind the Bears could run some packages for first-round passer Justin Fields. The offense will keep calling quick hitters in the hopes of keeping Burrow safe, but the interior of the line needs to be better than it was last week. Maybe the biggest key for the Bengals? Making sure that Khalil Mack-led pass-rush doesn’t get going. Chicago’s good-looking pass-rush wasn’t hitting home often either. The running game is again good, but Dalton hasn’t been able to throw it down the field at all. It’s all pretty encouraging going into a game against a Bears team that took a 34-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the opener while Andy Dalton threw for just 206 yards with an interception on a 5.4 average.

Joe Mixon rushed for 127 yards and a score and Ja’Marr Chase announced his arrival with five catches for 101 yards and a score.ĭefensively, the new-look unit forced a key fumble, held Dalvin Cook to 61 rushing yards and had three sacks, all going to new arrivals B.J. To the Bengals’ credit, the team - and especially the offense - started faster than most probably would have been comfortable predicting considering Joe Burrow was back on a surgically repaired knee behind a rebuilt offensive line.īut during an overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings, Burrow went a smooth 20-of-27 with 261 yards and two touchdowns. The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 2 with a 1-0 record and facing their first road game of the season against a Chicago Bears team hungry to right the ship after starting the season with a loss.
