It’s time to cancel those Saturday night plans and settle on the couch for NFL action.
The Chicago Bears face off with the Cincinnati Bengals tonight, for what will serve as the second preseason game for both teams.

The two teams enter the game after starkly different results last season.
The upstart Bears nearly earned their way into the NFC championship game but were narrowly defeated by the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in the NFC divisional round. Despite the loss, it was something of a coming-out party for Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson on the national stage.
On the other side, the Bengals endured a disappointing campaign marred by another slow start and an injury-riddled season for Joe Burrow. As a result, head coach Zac Taylor has decided to play the Bengals’ starters, including Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Dexter Lawrence, in an effort to avoid another slow start to the regular season.
Here’s everything to know about the Bengals vs. Bears preseason clash in each team’s second exhibition game this year:
