CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals have won two straight after topping the Arizona Cardinals 37-14 in Paycor Stadium.

It was an explosive day for the Bengals' offense as the Cardinals just couldn't stop Joe Burrow and company.

Burrow threw 24-of-31 for 305 yards and two touchdowns throughout the day before Joe Flacco replaced him in the fourth quarter.

Burrow capped off his day when he found Ja'Marr Chase for his second touchdown of the day.

Chase got Cincinnati on the board first when he juked out several Arizona defenders and leaped into the end zone.

Bengals running back Chase Brown collected two touchdowns on back-to-back drives. His second touchdown came after offensive tackle Cody Ford got a reception from Burrow and carried the ball close to the goal line.

On Cincinnati's previous drive, Brown muscled his way into the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown.

Running back Samaje Perine also got a touchdown when he burst into the end zone on a 1-yard rush.

The Bengals were coming off a much-needed morale boost, having previously beaten the Miami Dolphins 45-21.

After the win, head coach Zac Taylor gave props to Cincinnati's defense for stopping the run game and holding them to only one touchdown for the majority of the game.

"Overall pleased with how everybody approached the game," Taylor said.

Burrow said in his post-game press conference that he thought the offense was "pretty productive, pretty efficient."

"Playoffs are out of the question obviously, but any time you step foot out there, you're playing for pride, for the guys," Burrow said.

Burrow also said that while the season hasn't gone how they wanted, games like Sunday's are why they all play the game.

"This is why you do it, the highs and the lows, the emotion, performing with your guys, it's what you love about it," he said.

Cincinnati will round out its season in Paycor Stadium again next week, facing the Cleveland Browns.
