CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals came out swinging in Paycor Stadium on Sunday and never slowed down against the Carolina Panthers in a 42-21 victory.
The Bengals (5-4) saw a record-breaking game for Joe Mixon, who scored five touchdowns — the most in a single-game for a Bengals player. QB Joe Burrow scored the 6th TD in the game.
Burrow was relieved by backup Brandon Allen in the third quarter of the game, with Mixon leaving for awhile shortly after.
While the Panthers attempted to make a comeback, they never quite had the momentum or enough time on the clock to do so.
The Bengals are headed into a bye week now before they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second time.
Kickoff for that away game on Nov. 20 is 8:20 p.m.
