SAD NEWS: Cincinnati Bengals team are in tears after the passing away legend few minutes ago…..
The Bengals knew they needed a win on Sunday. They were 3-5 and their backs were against the wall.
They may still be against that wall, but Joe Burrow helped them take a step forward on Sunday, leading Cincinnati to a 41-24 win over the Raiders.
The Bengals star quarterback was fantastic against the Raiders, completing 22-of-27 passes for 177 yards and four touchdowns in the first three quarters of the game, helping Cincinnati build a 31-10 lead.
Las Vegas scored a touchdown on their opening drive, which put the pressure on the Bengals, who were looking for their first home win of the season.
Burrow calmly led the Bengals on a 13-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown pass to Chase Brown.
It was a tone-setting drive and Burrow answered the bell with the team down 7-0.
He made multiple throws under pressure, including an 11-yard pass to Tanner Hudson on 4th-and-3 from the Raiders’ 20-yard line.
Burrow also made a great throw to Brown on 2nd-and-1 with Maxx Crosby in his face.
Crosby beat Amarius Mims for what should’ve been a sack, but Burrow made a great play and turned it into a first down.
The 27-year-old completed his first 15 passes. He led the Bengals on five-straight scoring drives to start the game, including four touchdowns.
