Even with the snowy conditions, it’s no real surprise that a born-and-bred Midwestern thoroughbred like Joe Burrow was surgical in the first half against the Buffalo Bills. He and the Cincinnati Bengals drove the field on three touchdown drives in the first half to take an early lead.
However, it came without much production from all-star wideout Ja’Marr Chase, who had just one target in the first 30 minutes of play, catching it for a 13-yard gain. Chase didn’t get his second catch until the fourth quarter on a pop-pass jet sweep. Chase got back into the game with a few plays in the fourth quarter, but Bengals head coach Zac Taylor had to get creative to make that happen.
