Key Points:
- The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Chicago Bears 27-9 in their second preseason game, improving to 2-0 in the 2026 campaign despite resting starters.
- Wide receivers Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers stood out, with Young securing a touchdown and leading the team in receiving yards, while Meyers led in receptions and showed strong performance in Higgins and Chase's absence.
- Quarterback Josh Johnson impressed by completing 15 of 23 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns during the first half, demonstrating he can still contribute despite uncertain roster status.
- Defensive rookie Landon Robinson made a notable impact with multiple sacks and pass deflections, highlighting potential depth on the defensive line alongside veterans.
- Offensive lineman Cody Ford struggled with penalties and may be at risk of losing his spot, while wide receivers outside of Young, Meyers, and Tinsley face tough competition for limited roster positions.
