Bears vs Bengals: Takeaways from the snap counts, stats, and more

I know the popular story to come out of the Chicago Bears 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals is rookie quarterback Justin Fields getting some extending playing time, but this game was all about the defense. Chicago’s turnover basket was getting a work out with 3 interceptions and a fumble recovery, but they also had 4 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, a forced fumble, 9 quarterback hits, and 8 passes defended.

But their offense had some issues in the first half with Andy Dalton before his knee injury, and then some more issues with Fields in the game in the second half, but the Bears also left some yards and points out there with some drops and silly penalties.
