ARLINGTON, Texas -- The playoffs might be a far-fetched dream for the Cincinnati Bengals, but at least their losing streak is over after a 27-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys, whose special teams mistake late in the fourth quarter sealed it.
The Cowboys deflected a punt but then touched the ball, which was recovered by the Bengals at their own 43 with 1:53 left. Three plays later, Joe Burrow hit Ja'Marr Chase for a game-winning 40-yard TD.
Cincinnati's win against the Cowboys snapped a three-game skid for a squad that mathematically remains in playoff contention, even if the likelihood of reaching the postseason is very slim.
