Bears Outlast Bengals for Wild 47-42 Win on Williams' TD Pass to Loveland in Final Minute

Charlie Jones' 98-yard punt return gave the Bengals an early lead as they fought to stay competitive in the AFC North, but they ultimately lost 47-42 to the Bears.

  • On Sunday, Charlie Jones ran a 98-yard punt return to open the game, giving the Cincinnati Bengals a 7-0 lead at Paycor Stadium.
  • Bengals entered the matchup 3-5 after losing to the New York Jets and needed a win to stay in the AFC North before Joe Burrow's return.
  • A replay decision and special-teams play shaped the finish as Zac Taylor's challenge backfired when officials ruled DJ Moore crossed the goal line, while Joseph Ossai recovered an onside kick leading to Joe Flacco's 9-yard touchdown to Andrei Iosivas.
  • Following the wild finish, the Bears improved to five and three, while the Bengals dropped to three and six and will have a bye next week.
  • Cincinnati's defense struggled, allowing at least 31 points for the third straight game while Joe Flacco started despite a shoulder injury, completing 30 of 44 passes for a career-high 470 yards and four touchdowns.
