NFL Week 14: Bengals’ best plays from loss against Bears

Not a lot to unwrap from Cincinnati’s disappointing effort against Chicago, but both Giovani Bernard and William Jackson gave it their all.

Six days after succumbing to the Steelers at home, the Bengals disappointed mightly again, this time falling to the 3-9 Bears in terrible fashion.

As Marvin Lewis pointed out best, we’re all “at a loss for words”, after Cincinnati couldn’t put up a fight against a team that had lost to the 2-10 49ers in Chicago the previous week.

Despite being forced to warm the bench due to the coaching staff’s insistence on other underperforming veterans, the talented pair proved they have what it takes to be quality players in this league.

Maybe another sign that Marvin Lewis needs to go?

Here’s Gio’s 21-yard rush to set get into Chicago’s territory on their only scoring drive of the game:
