The losses keep piling up for the Bears, but Justin Fields is looking like a star in the making.
87. . 3-7. Previous: . Carolina Panthers. 28. team

. 3-6. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams. 21. team. 51

Cincinnati has one of the toughest remaining slates, but first a rematch with the Steelers. Sounds weird, but a must-win for the Bengals.
