Chicago Bears at Cincinnati Bengals
Digest more
The Chicago Bears’ four-game winning streak is over, mainly because of their inability to tap into their usual formula for success against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bears led the Ravens 6-0 after the first quarter Sunday but were outscored 16-0 between the second and third periods. They rallied to close the gap to 16-13 but ultimately lost 30-16 at M&T Bank Stadium.
Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco told reporters Friday that he felt good but stopped short of saying whether he’d face the Bears on Sunday because of a right shoulder sprain. The Bengals consider him questionable for Sunday’s game. Bengals coach Zac Taylor was non-committal about who would start. Jake Browning will go if Flacco can’t.

Coach Ben Johnson agreed, despite the QB's mediocre numbers on Sunday and in the previous three games. Williams has a passer rating of 77.8 over that stretch with two TD passes, three interceptions and a 60.8% completion rate. The Bears failed to score 21 points for the first time this season last Sunday.
