With a late-game thrill ride from Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals sealed a 27-20 victory over the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. With a little over a minute left on the clock, he caught his second touchdown, a 40-yard grab, that secured Cincinnati’s fifth win of the season.
He also joined Joe Burrow’s impressive performance of 369 passing yards and three touchdowns, two of which were caught by Chase, who had 177 yards on 14 receptions. Dallas’ backup quarterback, Cooper Rush, managed to put up 183 yards and one touchdown but could not orchestrate a comeback for Dallas.
Momentum swings during the contest included a blocked punt by Dallas and an interception thrown by Burrow. It was not until the very strong offense of the Bengals, and the clutch performance by Chase, in the end, proved convincing. These two teams are now 5-8 in what seems now to be a very competitive playoff race.
The Titans come next week at Nissan Stadium in Nashville to see the Bengals, while the Cowboys visit the Panthers in Charlotte.
