Bears routed by Bengals


The feeling of exuberance and cheer from the win over Detroit was quickly erased as the Cincinnati Bengals punished the Bears 24-7. Kyle Orton had by far his worst outing as a pro, throwing 5 interceptions, 4 in the first half and 0 TD's. A positive note on offense was Thomas Jones who rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. On the defensive side of the ball the bears played above average except for about three plays...All resulting in touchdowns to Chad Johnson(2) and Chris Henry(1). However the Bears must learn to play against a big play receiver like Chad Johnson, if they ever plan on competing for the Super bowl or even the division. As a NFL team you just cannot turn the ball over 6 times and expect to win a game especially when your facing a team with an explosive offense such as the Bengals. The Bears have a bye week this up coming weekend, a chance to regroup at great ready for the Cleveland Browns. Some side notes Chicago TE Desmond Clark left the game midway through the second quater with a neck strain...but he said it is not serious.
