Film Takes: Bengals Offense SOARS Behind Joe Flacco & Tee Higgins—Defensive Troubles Somehow DEEPEN

The Cincinnati Bengals' offense keeps firing as Joe Flacco and Tee Higgins ignite against the Chicago Bears, but defensive woes have derailed the season. Jake Liscow and Mike Santagata break down how the Bengals stayed explosive on offense, and the offensive staff’s creative adaptations, including play action, mesh concepts, and tendency-breaking run plays. Unfortunately, the problems on defense are the same. Missed tackles, poor positioning, and coverage miscues persist as the unit gives up chunk plays and struggles to contain even backup running backs.
