It wasn’t pretty and at times it felt like another disappointing loss was inevitable, but Cincinnati Bengals did just enough to ensure victory over New York Giants Sunday Night Football.
The final score doesn’t tell the whole story because Chase BrownThe 30-yard touchdown came in the final minutes when the Bengals were running out of time. The 10-7 score before that late touchdown better reflected the competition.
Joe Burrow called it an “ugly” victory, and that’s exactly what it was. However, he put in a strong performance despite the pressure he faced, finishing 19 of 28 for 208 scoreless yards, with one successful catch and no turnover-worthy plays. Burrow was pressured on 13 of his 35 throws, took two sacks and stopped two additional hits.
