And so the Bears vs. Bengals saga begins, or will begin, on Saturday. It will be the moment when Caleb Williams, selected number 1 in the 2024 NFL Draft, will play as a forward for the first time in the professional league.
Coach Eberflus is often the one working with his core players, which increases the likelihood that Caleb Williams will play against the Bengals when they host the Bengals.
Not to mention the sheer joy Bears fans get from seeing some of the league’s best players – both rookies and veterans like Rome Odunze, D’Andre Swift and Keenan Allen – playing alongside them.
It will be interesting to see whether or not Eberflus can turn its 3-14 record from last season into a win.
The Bengals, on the other hand, have some good news. Joe Burrow will be healthy, which is quite a rarity considering Burrow’s tenure with the Bengals. The offense will continue its relentless attack like last season.
Their defense will likely be a weak spot, not to mention that they will have to face some of the most impressive quarterbacks in the league, like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.
What defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has developed this offseason will only be seen on the field. The Bengals are expected to maintain a winning record like last season’s 9-8.
