Bears Rally to Beat Bengals 47-42

In Week 9 at Paycor Stadium the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals 47-42 when Caleb Williams connected with rookie tight end Colston Loveland on a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds remaining, capping three touchdowns in the final two minutes and two lead changes in the last minute. Chicago amassed 576 yards of offense, paced by rookie running back Kyle Monangai’s 176 rushing yards. Joe Flacco rallied Cincinnati with multiple late touchdowns and finished with a career-high 470 passing yards and four TDs. Cincinnati squandered a 14-point fourth-quarter lead and briefly took the lead on a converted two-point try and recovered onside kick, but a failed late challenge and the interception of Flacco’s final Hail Mary sealed the Bears’ win. The loss dropped the Bengals to 3-6 entering the bye while Chicago improved to 5-3. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 500+ yards and 38+ points with zero takeaways for a second straight game — the first team in the Super Bowl era to do so.
