Chicago vs. Cincinnati: Which Bengals player would you want on the Bears?
The Chicago Bears will host the Cincinnati Bengals in their home opener in Week 2, where the Bears will be looking to rebound following an embarrassing 34-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in prime time.
While Chicago’s offense had their own issues — starting with scoring only 14 points and a lack of a downfield passing attack — they weren’t the biggest concern coming out of the Week 1 loss.
That honor belongs to the Bears defense, who were blown out by Matthew Stafford and the Rams, giving up 34 points and exposing a weakness in the secondary. While they were playing arguably a top offense in the league, it certainly raised plenty of concerns for a declining defense.
Meanwhile, the Bengals are coming off a stunning overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings, where their offense found some success. But the offensive line did allow five sacks on Joe Burrow, which could set up a big day for Chicago’s pass rush on Sunday.
The Bears are early 2.5-point home favorites against the Bengals. And following their brutal Week 1 loss, it’s not hard to see why there’s not a lot of confidence in Chicago to turn things around against Cincinnati.
But there’s also plenty of talent on the Bengals’ roster, which starts with their loaded offense with Burrow and his weapons running back Joe Mixon and receivers Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, and continues on defense with defensive end Trey Hendrickson and safety Jessie Bates.
So, which Bengals player would you want to steal for the Bears?
