EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Joe Burrow scored on a career-long 47-yard run on the opening possession, and the Cincinnati Bengals' defense carried them to a much-needed 17-7 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Evan McPherson made a go-ahead 37-yard field goal in the third quarter after a botched snap and hold contributed to him missing a potential game-winning kick a week earlier. And Chase Brown scored on a 30-yard run with 1:52 to play — one play after he fumbled and the ball rolled out of bounds — to give the Bengals (2-4) some hope after a dismal start.
