This game might have overtook the Giants-Broncos game as the game of the year during the 2025 NFL season.
The Cincinnati Bengals pulled off an amazing comeback on Sunday by scoring two touchdowns in the final three minutes to take the lead over the Chicago Bear 42-21 after receiving an onside kick.
Joe Flacco led two masterful drives for scores to give Cincinnati new hope at beating the Bears and inching closer to .500 ahead of the bye week.
With the Chicago Bears on the verge of an epic collapse, their first-round rookie made a play. Tight end Colston Loveland broke a tackle and scored a touchdown with just 17 seconds to play to rescue the Bears from an embarrassing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9.
The play came after the Bears gave up 15 points in just over two minutes to blow a 14-point lead against the Bengals.
The contest looked to be well in hand with 5:03 left to play. Wideout D.J. Moore scored on a 14-yard run to give Chicago a 14-point lead. Moore was initially ruled down at the 1-yard line, but a challenge by the Bengals resulted in Moore scoring the touchdown.
The Bears intercepted Flacco on the next drive, but couldn’t muster up another offensive drive, leading the team to punt it back to the Bengals with just over two minutes to play.
It took Flacco four plays to throw a touchdown. The Bengals converted the two-point conversion, cutting the lead to six points.
After an onside kick recovery, the Bengals scored again with 54 seconds left to take a one-point lead.
With the Bears desperately trying to get into field-goal mode, Caleb Williams found Loveland in the middle of the field, and he rumbled all the way to the end zone to save the Bears and give them the 47-42 win.
