The good news for the Cincinnati Bengals is that even a good Bears defense could not cover AJ Green, and with the once-mighty conference going 0-4 in Week 1, the Bengals were clearly the best team. They battled tough in Chicago, while the other three were embarrassed and the Bengals may get plenty of sacks against a terrible Browns offensive line and a Steelers’ team that lost Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey for the season.
