Bengals hold on for season's first win
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have their first win of the season.
The Bengals defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 19-16, to win Monday night.
Cincinnati was led by a superb effort by its defense. The Bengals sacked Matthew Stafford six times, linebacker Logan Wilson intercepted the quarterback twice, they forced the Rams to go 1-for-4 in the red zone and 1-for-11 on third downs
When you have a defense like that, it makes your job as a quarterback easy,” Burrow told the ESPN broadcast after the game.
Burrow was hampered by his highly publicized calf injury, but got through the contest. The quarterback was 26-of-49 passing for 259 yards and had one interception. Cincinnati’s offense got a major spark from wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase who produced a game-high 12 catches for 141 yards
Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had seven tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss and two QB hits in the loss. — Tyler Dragon
