The Cincinnati Bengals are playing extremely well, as evident by their early 28-0 lead.
But what's the deal with the Chicago Bears?
Early indications this season are that the Bears (3-2) are a playoff contender. Yet so far they haven’t showed up at all in Paul Brown Stadium.
Chicago is very sloppy. The Bears already put the ball on the ground twice, losing one fumble. On one play quarterback Jay Cutler dropped a shotgun snap. And the defense isn’t covering anybody.
Will the Bears make this a competitive game? Probably not.
But these type of performances, although one game, make you question if Chicago is truly a contender this year.
