Were blitzing Bears part of Matt Eberflus' evolution — or just something for future foes to sweat?

The Bears blitzed Saturday, and then blitzed some more.

On second down in the first quarter, cornerback Kyler Gordon sacked Bengals quarterback Logan Woodside on a blitz from his right nickel spot. Woodside never saw him coming.

On second down in the second quarter, cornerback Josh Blackwell rushed from his right nickel spot and hit Woodside as he was throwing. The ball floated into the arms of linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga for an interception.

On third down in the third quarter, cornerback Reddy Steward rushed from the left slot, forcing Woodside to throw the ball early — and right to the Bears’ Terell Smith.
