The Cincinnati Bengals put on yet another maddening performance in Week 9's 47-42 home loss to the Chicago Bears. Once again, the Cincinnati defense was awful and let up another 250+ yards on the ground (283 to be precise) for the second straight game.
Wasting a downright legendary performance by Joe Flacco and a unicorn-rare onside kick recovery that led to a go-ahead late touchdown drive, the Bengals have fallen to 3-6 entering their Week 10 bye. They need some time to lick their wounds, and hopefully they can pull off a trade deadline move to upgrade that dreadful defensive unit.
