After a week of questions surrounding Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals lack of offense against the Tennessee Titans, Burrow found his magic that included a 63-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase as the Bengals put it on the Arizona Cardinals 34-20 on the road.
Burrow, who would post a 108.1 passer rating while going 36 of 46 for 317 yards and three touchdowns, would find Chase 15 times for 192 yards and all three scores. The 15 receptions set a new franchise record, breaking the 25-year record of Carl Pickens by two receptions.
Also playing a significant role was receiver Trenton Irwin, with eight receptions for 60 yards and some key punt returns as the Bengals play without rookie Charlie Jones.
But it might have been the play of the defense that really set the tone for the day as Cam Taylor-Britt came up with a massive pick-six after the offense failed to punch in a red zone drive that ended on the one-yard line and pressure from defensive end Trey Hendrickson who posted 2.5 sacks on the day.
Following the game, Dave Lapham joined Dave Berk for his traditional postgame phone call about the Bengals win and its significance to a team facing an uphill battle.
