CINCINNATI — The Bengals' defensive leaders echoed many of the same statements on Monday that they've said all season. Stones to turnover on this beach of defensive despair are running out as part of arguably the NFL's worst defense in the last 50 years, midway through the 2025 season.

After a late collapse from the Cincinnati Bengals' defense in a loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Chase Brown voiced his frustration to the media.

The Bengals were on the verge of pulling off an impossible comeback against the Bears by scoring 15 points in two minutes and handing a 42-41 lead to the defense with 54 seconds left.

When the Browns decided to trade quarterback Joe Flacco to the Bengals, they initially faced questions about their choice to send him to a division opponent. Now, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is facing questions about why Flacco is seeing much more success with the Bengals than he did on the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals fans might not want to hear it, but there will be no changes at defensive coordinator after Sunday's stunning 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Cincinnati's head coach offers insight into his working relationship with director of player personnel Duke Tobin as the 3-6 team faces critical decisions.

Breaking down the breakdowns. The Bengals' missed tackles were bad, but much more went into the Bears' 58-yard game-winner, and it all added up to disaster.

Cincinnati Bengals HC Zac Taylor addressed whether he plans to make any changes to his defensive coaching staff amid ongoing struggles.

The Cincinnati Bengals are historically bad defensively despite the fact that their offense continues to put up big-time numbers with Joe Flacco, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins leading the way, but one former NFL head coach cannot help but obliterate Zac Taylor’s team after their recent peformances.
