Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense did about everything they could do in the second half of Sunday night’s Week 11 game against the Chargers. Burrow threw three second-half touchdowns, two to Ja’Marr Chase and one to Tee Higgins, to tie the game at 27, only for it to be undone by another Evan McPherson missed field goal and subsequent defensive collapse.
Was the offense perfect? No, but the defense is so bad, the only way the offense can beat a good team, and the Chargers are a good team, is by being perfect, and that’s just not realistic.
