Bears vs Bengals Preseason: How to watch, start time, odds, and more
· Yahoo Sports
The Chicago Bears take on Ohio’s other team this week as they are in the Queen City to face the Cincinnati Bengals in preseason game number two for both franchises. The Bears smoked the Browns last week (34 to 10), while the Bengals snuck by the Lions by two points (16 to 14).

These two teams had a joint practice on Thursday (recap here), and that morning Cincy head coach Zac Taylor said he expects his starters to sit in the preseason game, while Chicago head coach Ben Johnson has yet to address it. The Bears got in a lot of work with the first string yesterday, so if Johnson was happy with how they looked and how many snaps they got, they may also sit.
