Cincinnati Bengals Talk

The Cincinnati Bengals handled business against the Chicago Bears, winning 27-9 in preseason game No. 2 and several young players made their case for a spot on the roster.

James Rapien breaks down a dominant night from the Bengals' young offense, including Josh Johnson's impressive performance and a wide receiver group that continues to make the roster decisions more difficult.
