The Cincinnati Bengals needed a win over the Chicago Bears in Week 9 before a bye to steady themselves at the break and NFL trade deadline. Joe Flacco and the offense tried, but the Bengals defense wouldn't be denied spoiling another game.

Despite suffering an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder a week ago, Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco is active and will play vs. the Bears at Paycor Stadium. Flacco suffered his injury in the fourth quarter of last week’s 39-38 loss at home to the previously winless Jets.
