Bengals Defeat Browns, Burrow Sets Record

Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to a 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns, marking their third consecutive win and keeping their slim playoff hopes alive. Burrow threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, setting a new NFL record for the most consecutive games with at least 250 yards and three touchdown passes at seven. Ja'Marr Chase also had a standout performance, catching six passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, breaking his own franchise record for most receiving yards in a single season with over 1,500. The Bengals, now 7-8, need to win their final two games and rely on other teams to lose in order to secure a playoff spot.

Burrow's record and Chase's historic season contribute to an exciting narrative as the Bengals head into a crucial Week 17 match against the Denver Broncos.
