Bengals RB Chase Brown: We have to finish the f'ing game
Our Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a last-minute defeat to the Chicago Bears after blowing a late lead in Week 9. Joe Flacco's touchdown passes to Noah Fant and Andrei Iosivas briefly put the Bengals ahead 42-41 with 54 seconds remaining. However, the Bengals' defense faltered, allowing a critical 14-yard run by Caleb Williams and a 58-yard game-winning touchdown to Colston Loveland. Bengals running back Chase Brown expressed frustration over the team's inability to secure the win, emphasizing the need for stronger defensive finishes.
This loss marks a concerning trend for the Bengals, as they became the first team in the Super Bowl era to concede over 500 yards, 38-plus points, and have zero takeaways in consecutive games. Despite hiring Al Golden as defensive coordinator after a disappointing 2024 season, the Bengals are facing mounting pressure to improve their defensive performance to achieve success.
