Bears Wake-Up Call in Preseason Loss | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears took a brutal 27-9 preseason loss to the Bengals, and head coach Ben Johnson called it out without hesitation—sloppy play, eleven penalties for 81 yards, and just two third-down conversions on offense are unacceptable, even in August. The defense struggled too, giving up six of thirteen third-down conversions. Johnson stressed that this isn’t just a preseason game—it’s a wake-up call that could carry over into the regular season. With one final preseason game left, the Bears must show discipline and execution if they want to meet the high standard they’ve set for themselves.
