NFLSU Week 13: Joey B outduels Patrick Mahomes in Cincy win
On a day when former LSU wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals was reactivated after missing five games with a hairline hip fracture, his LSU and Cincinnati batterymate Joe Burrow worked his fourth quarter magic.
Burrow became the first QB to beat Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes three straight times as the Bengals came back from a 24-17 deficit to record a 27-24 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Burrow’s 8-yard TD pass to running back Chris Evans proved to be the game-winner. He finished the completing 25-of-31 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a career-high 46 yards and a TD on 11 carries.
Burrow credited his teammates for playing well in a pressure-situation.
"We have players that have been in these spots before,” Burrow said. "Whether it's college or last year, we've accumulated players that it matters to them. The character of these guys is what wins games down the stretch in December and January.
“They've done a great job of finding those guys; we have one of the best locker rooms I've been around. You feel the energy in the room every single day. We have the utmost faith in one another. If one unit isn't playing great, the other one will step up and make plays."
