CINCINNATI — Two drives into the preseason, and Cincinnati's offense mowed through each one against Philadelphia's backups as Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase connected for their first live-action score in months.
Chase took the ball-movement duties from Chase Brown after Cincinnati got to midfield through multiple RB touches. The reigning triple-crown winner did the rest with a 36-yard TD strike to make it 14-7 Bengals. Chase ad Burrow are completely dialed-into their patented connection after a few weeks of healthy training camp.
Burrow exited the game after the drive finishing 9-10 through the air for 122 yards and two touchdowns. It was the most extensive preseason action of his career. Chase hauled in 77 of those yards on four catches.
Check out the big play below, along with the drive play-by-play on the second scoring possession of the game for Cincinnati:
