Burrow&#8217;s performance was one of the best of his stellar NFL career as he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/3915511\/joe-burrow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">went<\/a> 28-32 for 283 passing yards with three touchdowns and a QB rating of 134.8. Burrow was in control the entire game and had several plays where he broke contain to end the day with 43 yards rushing, as he finally seems recovered from the calf strain suffered in training camp. The Bengals schedule is a grind for the final 10 games of the year, and they will need vintage Burrow to carry them the rest of the way to get back in the AFC North divisional race.

Even with this disclaimer, the duo never ceases to amaze with the chemistry that fuels this Bengals offense when they need it most.

The most often overlooked part about Chase&#8217;s game is how cerebral he is. He knows every wide receiver position and the concepts that go with it. This allows the coaching staff to vary the route tree Chase can run, and it often pays dividends.<\/p>\n<h3>Magic Show<\/h3>\n<p>The process of getting Burrow to where he is now has been arduous. The offense couldn&#8217;t perform efficiently, and the playbook had to be paired down based on the limitations of the calf strain.
