When the Bears have the ball
A week after the Bears scored a season-low 16 points against the 32nd-ranked Ravens defense, they should fare better against a Bengals defense that is not only ranked 32nd in points allowed, but 32nd in yards allowed and rushing yards allowed; 30th in passing yards allowed; 29th in sacks and 31st in third-down conversions.
The Ravens’ low ranking was deceptive. They were improving and regained star linebacker Roquan Smith. The woeful Bengals are the real deal — they’ve allowed 27 or more points in their last seven games.
