CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals let another opportunity slip past. After two straight defeats, including Sunday’s error-filled 26-23 overtime loss to San Francisco, Joe Burrow and the Bengals remain a game behind Baltimore atop the AFC North.
That’s even though the Ravens have dropped two in a row as well.
Sunday’s loss was especially tough for Cincinnati.
The Bengals trailed 20-6 before Ja’Marr Chase caught a pair of touchdown passes from Burrow to tie the score in the fourth quarter.
Cincinnati led 23-20 in overtime, but Jimmy Garoppolo’s 12-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk won it for San Francisco.
Burrow’s final stat line: 25 – 34 passes for 348 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
