Bengals Back on Track Beating Cards 34 – 20

Cincinnati Bengals traveled to Arizona to face the Cardinals. Bengals were on a mission. Burrow came out and dominated as everyone could see his calf is getting better as he was able to scramble and move around the pocket unlike the first 4 games. 9 to 1 was in full affect.

Chase set a Bengals franchise record with 15 catches 192 yards and 3 TDs. Burrow was back to his normal self throwing as he was 36-46 with 317 passing yards 3 TDs and 1 INT (Irwin fell on his route which caused the interception). Irwin caught 8 passes for 60 yards; Boyd had 6 catches for 39 yards. Mixon ran hard and well as he had 25 carries for 81 yards.

Bengals defense suffocated the Arizona Cardinals as they had 3 sacks, 1 fumble, and 2 interceptions (1 was a pick 6 by CB Taylor-Britt).

This was a well rounded team effort and the best version of themselves so far this season. This is a turning point for them as they are now 2-3 and get to be home vs Seattle on Sunday October 15. If the Ravens lose to the Titans in Tennessee they will fall to 3-3; if Browns lose to 49ers they will be 2-3; and if Steelers lose to Rams a week later they fall to 3-3. AFC North will be up for the Bengals to grab and run with it. The Bengals are built for this and have the opportunity to win the AFC North for 3 years in a row and get into the playoffs to get back to the Super Bowl.

Lets go Bengals!!!

Who Dey!!!
