CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals showed up with a hangover from their season-crushing loss on Monday night and gave one of their worst performances during coach Marvin Lewis’ 15 seasons.
In a sense, the Steelers got ’em again.
With a defense gutted from their loss to Pittsburgh, the Bengals gave a sloppy and lackluster performance all-around, getting drubbed by the Chicago Bears 33-7 at Paul Brown Stadium.
It was their worst home loss since 2008 and Chicago’s most lopsided victory in five years.
Rookie Mitchell Trubisky threw for a touchdown and ran for another in his best showing yet and the Bears ended a five-game losing streak.
Jordan Howard ran for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Bears dominated a matchup of the NFL’s worst offenses.
