Bears QB Jay Cutler said he was embarrassed by the 45-10 thumping his team took from the Bengals.
Bears C Olin Kreutz blamed himself for two shotgun snaps to Cutler that were fumbled.
Bears WR Devin Hester had eight catches for 101 yards, the first time he topped 100 yards receiving in his career.
Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun-Times thinks that Sunday’s loss exposed the lie that the Bears have a capable defense.
DE Gaines Adams made his Bears debut and played mostly on the left side which was the opposite of what was expected.
Said Bengals RB Cedric Benson after slicing through his old team for 189 yards, “It’s hard to explain. It was a bit of an emotional week coming into
this one. Bit of an emotional day but a wonderful
feeling at the end. I just wanted to take advantage of my opportunities.”
The Bengals defense rebounded well after getting trounced by the Texans last weekend.
Bengals QB Carson Palmer had a career best 146.7 passer rating as he completed 20 of 24 passes and led scoring drives on all seven possessions he was in the game.
Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns.
Bengals CB Leon Hall had two of the team’s three interceptions, while S Chris Crocker had the other and added a forced fumble.

I’ve been complaining about the auto-refresh for a couple weeks now. Many posts and comments, and an email to you.
Been ignored.
Would you at least consider a post about the issue?
I cant be the only one who hates it. And I swear today I was reading this post and suddenly it refreshed me to the top of the page right in the middle of my sentence. I almost closed the link and said “fuggit.”
Been here years. I used to even click on links to your ads even when I had no interest, just to show appreciation and get you some $$. Kendavislaw@yahoo.com
