CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals brought home a glorious victory Sunday with a 35-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals (now 4-3) offense came out swinging — and scoring — with their first drive of the game in Paycor Stadium.
Joe Burrow threw for 481 yards, which is the third most in Bengals history trailing on himself (525 yards) and Boomer Esiason (490 yards).
The Falcons (3-4), while their rushing attack did put points on the board, ultimately couldn't defensively stop the Bengals momentum.
Though the Bengals did pull out the win, they did deal with some injuries throughout the game. WR Ja'Marr Chase left the game right before halftime with what seemed like a leg injury, but he reentered the game in the third quarter. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson also left the game in the second half due to a neck injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Fueled with now a two-game winning streak, the Bengals will take on the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland on Oct. 31.
Monday night kickoff between the Ohio teams is at 8:15 p.m.
