The Cincinnati Bengals have defeated the Arizona Cardinals in a thrilling 34-20 victory. The Bengals were led by rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw three touchdown passes to wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Burrow was impressive in his first win as a professional, completing 22 of 31 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. His favorite target was Higgins, who caught seven passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Higgins has been a reliable target for Burrow since he was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Bengals defense also played a key role in the win, holding the Cardinals to just 20 points. They forced two turnovers and sacked Kyler Murray four times. Linebacker Germaine Pratt had a team-high eight tackles, while defensive end Carl Lawson had two sacks.
The Bengals are now 1-2-1 on the season and will look to build on this win as they face the Jacksonville Jaguars next week. Burrow and Higgins have shown great chemistry so far this season, and if they can continue to connect, the Bengals could be a dangerous team in the AFC North.
