Rookie Ja’Marr Chase had a franchise-record and NFL rookie record 266 yards receiving and three touchdowns on 11 catches for Cincinnati.
Joe Burrow threw for 466 yards and four scores, breaking Cincinnati’s single-season passing record, while outdueling Patrick Mahomes, and the Bengals rallied from three 14-point deficits against the AFC West champs.
