Burrow connects with Chase for 3 TDs; Bengals roll past the Cardinals 34-20

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Joe Burrow threw for 317 yards and three touchdown passes to Ja'Marr Chase, who finished with a season-high 192 yards receiving, and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Arizona Cardinals 34-20 on Sunday.

It was a much-needed offensive performance for Burrow, who signed the NFL's richest contract during the offseason but was slowed through his first four games of the season by a calf injury. The 26-year-old looked plenty healthy against the Cardinals, completing 36 of 46 passes and buying time on a handful of plays with his athleticism in the pocket.

Chase set a single-game franchise record with 15 receptions and he made tough catches in traffic by repeatedly finding seams in the Cardinals defense.

Cincinnati scored a touchdown in the first half for the first time this season and had three offensive touchdowns overall on Sunday, matching the unit's total from the first four games combined.
