Chicago Bears (1-0) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) — Game Preview
The Chicago Bears head to Paycor Stadium to face the Cincinnati Bengals in this preseason matchup, with both clubs still unbeaten at 1-0 heading into the night. Neither record carries regular-season weight, but this late-August tune-up is one of the last extended live looks each coaching staff gets before rosters get trimmed to 53. Expect a lighter workload for established starters, with backups and roster-bubble players seeing the bulk of the snaps as they push for a final spot on the depth chart. Both sides will use the night to sharpen execution up front and in situational spots before the regular season opens.
