And they lost in spectacular fashion, surrendering a 58-yard game-winning touchdown from Caleb Williams to rookie Colston Loveland in the final seconds.

Colston Loveland bounced off a would-be tackler and took it to the house for a 58-yard TD with 17 seconds left, and the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals 47-42.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson has requested a trade or his release after being a healthy scratch.
