CINCINNATI — This is the offense every Bengals fan was expecting. <\/p>\n
Joe Burrow had 345 yards passing at the half, and finished with 481, while Tyler Boyd hauled in eight passes for a career high 155 yards – including a 60-yard touchdown to open the game – as the Bengals outgunned the Atlanta Falcons, 35-17, before 66,158 at Paycor Stadium Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Ja’Marr Chase overcame a leg issue at the end of the first half and finished with 130 yards on eight catches and two touchdowns. <\/p>\n
The Bengals finished with 537 total yards on offense. <\/p>\n
The Bengals’ defense ran their record to seven games without allowing a second-half touchdown, the longest streak in the NFL since the Chiefs in 1997. <\/p>\n
For the full box score, click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n La’el Collins left the game for a period of time with a left ankle injury before returning and Trey Hendrickson walked off under his own power in the third quarter with a neck injury and did not return. <\/p>\n The win moves the Bengals above .500 for the first time this season at 4-3, with their next game coming on Halloween night in Cleveland against the Browns. <\/p>\n The Bengals won the toss and elected to receive, taking immediate advantage of that decision. <\/p>\n Burrow completed a pair of quick passes, one to Tyler Boyd for a first down and another to Hayden Hurst. After a run up the middle of seven yards by Joe Mixon, Burrow took the snap from the shotgun and had good protection, firing a perfect post route to a wide open Boyd at the Atlanta 20. Boyd jogged in for first score of the day. <\/p>\n THAT'S how you start a football game.#ATLvsCIN<\/a> | ?
