NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Joe Burrow passed for three touchdowns and scrambled 19 yards for a score, and the Cincinnati Bengals rallied to beat the New Orleans Saints 30-26.
Two of Burrow’s touchdown tosses went to Ja’Marr Chase — just like the previous time the pair played in college in the Superdome in a national championship game triumph with LSU.
The second came on a quick pass to the left sideline that the elusive Chase turned into a 60-yard, go-ahead score with 1:57 left.
New Orleans rushed for 228 yards as a team but ended four drives inside the Cincinnati 20-yard line with Wil Lutz field goals.
Saints QB Andy Dalton passed for one TD. Saints rookie receiver Rashid Shaheed rushed for a 44-yard score.
Burrow finished the game 28-37 passing for 300 yards, three touchdowns, four rushes for 25 yards and one rushing touchdown.
