I'm sort of under the belief that the Bengals Super Bowl might have been that Steelers game. Unless other teams follow the horrible gameplan the Steelers had that game, I'm not expecting the Bengals to win too many games going forward.
I think Chase will absolutely get his, but I'm wary of everyone else, including Higgins, and especially Brown. Bears have a pretty good front 7, and don't give up many big plays in the run game. I also think the Bengals will have a hard time keeping Flacco upright. I'd bet on Sweat having a sack or 2.
For the Bears, Trey Hendrickson being unlikely to play is huge. I think Caleb will have time, and I think he'll be able to get in rhythm, particularly to Rome Odunze on those deep in routes Ben Johnson loves to call. The Bengals LBs are as bad as any in the league, and struggle against in coverage, and against the run. Speaking of the run, Kyle Monangai is probably gonna be a top-10 RB this week.
Bears 34
Bengals-20
