Have a day, Colston Loveland!
The Chicago Bears are back in the win column with their Week 9 triumph against the Cincinnati Bengals. And, naturally, that means the return of the behind-the-scenes look at what goes down in the winning locker room. Ben Johnson’s second road win as a first-year head coach was a memorable one. It wasn’t for the faint of heart. However, it is one we’ll be talking about for a while thanks to the heroics of rookies Colston Loveland and Kyle Monangai.

I’ve written and re-written this post in my head more times than I’d care to admit. But all is well that ends well with a Chicago Bears victory in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was absurd, ridiculous, and unthinkable. There were unfathomable plays, irredeemable mistakes, and events that occurred that words cannot accurately describe. But I’ll do my best to put words together in a way that they make sense as I go about recapping this game.

It’s not hyperbolic to call that Chicago Bears 47 to 42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals one of the craziest games in Bears history. It was a back-and-forth contest with over a thousand combined yards of offense that fittingly came down to the final seconds. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams continues to show that clutch-gene that […]

In a game where defense was optional on both sides and no lead felt safe, it was Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland delivering the game-winning touchdown.
This is how the Bears won their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals:

It was a barnburner from start to finish, but the Chicago Bears came away from Sunday with a 47-42 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, improving to 5-3 on the 2025 season. Both defenses failed to put together solid outings, while both offenses were tremendous in the showdown in Cincinnati. The Bears moved the ball consistently […]

Bengals coach Zac Taylor just went full John Fox — and the end result was a Bears touchdown.
Taylor threw a review flag hoping that Bears wideout DJ Moore fumbled the ball through the end zone. That would’ve given the Bengals the ball at the 20. At worse, I imagine the Cincy head coach thought it would be Bears ball at the 1-yard line as it was called on the field. Instead, this play goes down as a Chicago Bears touchdown:
After review, DJ Moore crosses the goal line for a 17-yard ru...

Colston Loveland isn’t the only Bears player who secured their first NFL touchdown on Sunday .
Running back Brittain Brown, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday because D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson were out with injuries, just did this to give Chicago’s football team a lead:

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland just scored his first NFL touchdown. And it gave his team a lead!
Just as I was pressing publish on Cole Kmet’s concussion injury update , fellow tight end Colston Loveland was securing his first NFL touchdown reception.
This is what it looked like for the Bears rookie tight end:

The Chicago Bears will be without tight end Cole Kmet for the rest of their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kmet went down after making a first-down catch during the first half and was evaluated for a concussion. And early in the third quarter, the Bears announced Kmet would not return:

The Chicago Bears offense has the Cincinnati Bengals defense confused and befuddled in the early going.
This is how they took the lead early in the second quarter after falling behind following a Cincinnati Bengals field goal:

I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...

Good morning, Bears fans. Hopefully the extra hour of sleep gave the Bears an extra hour of planning to beat the Bengals. Last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens was a step backwards for the 4-3 Chicago Bears and their possible playoff hopes, but this year’s squad can’t possibly turn this loss into a ten-game […]

Current Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson played football at the University of North Carolina as a walk-on quarterback under offensive coordinator John Shoop, who also happened to be the Bears’ play-caller in 2001.
Shoop, serving as offensive coordinator under then-head coach Dick Jauron when Chicago visited Cincinnati on Oct. 21, 2001, played a formative role in Johnson’s coaching development. Johnson has credited Shoop as one of his biggest mentors, and it seems fitting that we revis...
