The Cincinnati Bengals snapped a three-game losing streak with a thrilling 23-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The Bengals improved to 5-8 on the season, while the Cowboys dropped to 5-8 with their two-game win streak coming to an end.
The game was full of twists and turns, including a blocked punt by the Cowboys that seemed to give them perfect field position for a game-winning drive. However, the Bengals were able to recover the ball and regain possession, thanks to a muffed play by the Cowboys.
Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow had another spectacular night, going 33-for-44 for 369 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase continued his impressive form, catching 14 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns, including a 40-yard score that sealed the win.
The Cowboys were led by quarterback Cooper Rush, who threw for 224 yards and a touchdown, but was also intercepted twice. Running back Rico Dowdle had a game-high 131 yards on the ground, and has been a bright spot for the Cowboys in recent weeks.
The win was a welcome relief for the Bengals, who had been struggling of late. The game will be remembered for its exciting finish, and for Chase’s impressive performance. With four games remaining, the Bengals and Cowboys may not be in playoff position, but they will be looking to build momentum and end the season on a high note.
