Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase: "We waited until the last minute to take shots." Said communication has to be better offensively.

The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 2 with a 1-0 record and facing their first road game of the season against a Chicago Bears team hungry to right the ship after starting the season with a loss.

To the Bengals’ credit, the team — and especially the offense — started faster than most probably would have been comfortable predicting considering Joe Burrow was back on a surgically repaired knee behind a rebuilt offensive line.

But during an overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings, Burrow went a smooth 20-of-27 with 261 yards and two touchdowns. Joe Mixon rushed for 127 yards and a score and Ja’Marr Chase announced his arrival with five catches for 101 yards and a score

Bengals still alive. Justin Fields is intercepted by LOgan Wilson, who returns pick 18 yards to #Bears' 7. On next play, Joe Burrow rifles a 7-yard TD pass to Tee Higgins, cutting deficit to 20-17 with 3:39 left.

Bengals cut deficit to 7-3 on Evan McPherson's 53-yard field goal on opening possession of second half.

Are #Bengals really a different team this year? Chance to prove it here. They are 0-19 under Zac Taylor when trailing after three quarters.

Good: Trey Hendrickson gets a strip sack. Not as good: Logan Wilson tries to pick up the ball, doesn't, Bears recover. Cincinnati gets a stop but lose a ton of field position.

Logan Wilson said on strip sack when he first saw the ball nobody was around it, which signaled to him he could scoop and score. "But I didn't. It sucks."

Bengals go with Isaiah Prince over Fred Johnson again as the reserve tackle. Jackson Carman is active over D'Ante Smith.

Agreed. Lou Anarumo's unit has done a very good job under the circumstances. twitter.com/SamBlackburnTR…

Also means questionable LB Markus Bailey and CB/PR Darius Phillips are good to go for today.

The Cincinnati Bengals leave Week 2 1-1 after a loss on the road against the Chicago Bears.

Cincinnati looked a little sloppier than Week 1, struggling with penalties, defensively and getting much of anything going on the offensive side of the ball.

Here’s a look at the key notes and numbers to know.

The Cincinnati Bengals put out a relatively predictable list of inactives in the hours before their Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears.

Cincinnati had quickly ruled out No. 1 corner Trae Waynes early in the week. Fellow corner and punt returner Darius Phillips had a questionable tag going into Sunday too. That would explain the team calling up wideout Trenton Irwin from the practice squad.

The Bengals also elevated safety Sean Davis, the veteran they signed after Irwin left a vacant spot on the practice squad. With safety Ricardo Allen on injured reserve after a strong showing in Week 1, the defense needs ways to keep running the effective three-safety looks it showed during last week’s win
