The Cincinnati Bengals went home with a much-needed victory over the Dallas Cowboys as the Joe Burrow-led team snapped their losing streak. This prompted head coach Zac Taylor to drop a brutally honest review on how the game ended in their favor.
Cincinnati recently emerged victorious against the Cowboys, clinching a 27-20 win. The star of the night was wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who showcased his exceptional skills with a remarkable 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns. His final catch, a spectacular 40-yard touchdown with just over a minute left, secured the team’s lead and solidified his position as the NFL’s receiving leader for the season.

Quarterback Joe Burrow also had an outstanding performance, throwing for 369 yards and three touchdowns. This marked Burrow’s fifth consecutive game with at least three touchdown passes and his fourth game surpassing 300 passing yards. His ability to connect with Chase was pivotal, as the two players demonstrated an impressive synergy throughout the game.
Chase’s achievements were historic; he became the first player in NFL history to record over 80 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards, and at least seven touchdowns in each of his first four seasons. Notably, he surpassed 5,000 career receiving yards during this game, tying him with Michael Thomas for the fifth-fastest player to reach this milestone.
Running back Chase Brown contributed significantly as well, finishing with 123 total yards from scrimmage and surpassing 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season. His touchdown reception helped the Bengals take a crucial lead in the second quarter, showcasing the team’s offensive depth.
