Ja’Marr Chase once again put his talent on display with a stunning display in which he scored three touchdowns in a victory for the Cincinnati Bengals 34-20 on the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Chase caught three passes from quarterback Joe Burrow for majors on distances of two, 63 and three yards. Chase finished the game with an impressive season-high 192 yards after catching 15 passes.
Chase’s 15 catches were a team mark.
Burrow totaled 397 passes after completing 36 of 46 passes. He was also the victim of an interception.
Burrow’s performance should reassure his fans after having had a difficult start to the season, having signed a record contract before the start of the season. This time, the 26-year-old athlete seemed in full health and in full control of his abilities.
In the second quarter, the defense of the Bengals (2-3) dealt a hard blow to the Cardinals as Cam Taylor-Britt intercepted a pass from Joshua Dobbs to bring the ball into the end zone for eleven yards.
Kicker Evan McPherson made both field goal attempts.
Dobbs was the victim of two interceptions, but he still managed two touchdown passes in the second quarter. He connected with Marquise Brown for 25 yards and Zach Ertz for four yards. He completed 15 of his 32 passes for gains of 166 yards.
The Cards have been beaten four times in five games this season.
Kupp back, but the Eagles win
Matthew Stafford was certainly happy to have Cooper Kupp back, but the Los Angeles Rams were unable to inflict a first loss this season on the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Pennsylvania team signed a fifth victory in as many games thanks to a 23-14 victory.
The Rams have their star receiver back who aggravated a hamstring injury during training camp. Kupp set the tone of the game for the Rams. He caught five passes in just his team’s first offensive sequence. Matthew Stafford joined Tutu Atwell at the end for the touchdown to tie the game 7-7.
The Eagles exhausted the Rams defense in this game with over 37 minutes of possession time. Jalen Hurts scored a rushing touchdown for his team on a quarterback sneak on the last play of the first half to return to the locker room with a 17-14 lead.
“I don’t want to add fuel to the fire, but it’s a game we’re able to play at a high level,” Hurts enthused after the match. Clearly this doesn’t always work for everyone, so we just want to keep running it whenever we’re asked. »
“We just want to continue to grow. It’s really about growing up. »
Philadelphia’s defense did the job allowing no points to the Rams in the final two quarters.
Kupp finished his game with 118 yards on eight catches. Puka Nacua stood out with a touchdown.
“There are a few details that I’ll see tomorrow that I’m sure will make me say, ‘That could have been a little quicker,'” Kupp said. But I felt good on the pitch, playing football again. »
In addition to his rushing touchdown, Hurts threw a touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert. The quarterback finished the game with 303 yards through the air. This is the first time in team history that the Eagles have entered a second straight season with a 5-0 record.
“It’s hard to win in this league, so we’re really happy with where we are,” Goedert said. There are a few things that need tweaking, but it’s a good start for us. »
Nathaniel Hackett thumbs his nose at Sean Payton
Breece Hall rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown, Bryce Hall recovered a fumble and returned it 39 yards late in the game for a touchdown in a 31-21 New York Jets win over the Denver Broncos.
The Jets (2-3) celebrated the return of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to Denver, where he served as head coach last season. His successor at the helm of the Broncos, Sean Payton, harshly judged Hackett’s work during training camp.
The Broncos (1-4) are now 0-3 at home under Payton.
Russell Wilson guided the Broncos to a touchdown and a two-point conversion to make it 24-21 late in the fourth quarter. An interception by Patrick Surtain at the expense of Zach Wilson gave the ball back to Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson at his 3 line with 2:14 to play. Denver almost managed to move up the field for a field goal, but the Broncos quarterback was the victim of a sack and a loss of ball, which was recovered by Hall, who added a middle finger for the Jets, which sealed the outcome of the match.
Russell Wilson completed 20 of 31 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns.
Breece Hall scored his touchdown after a 72-yard run.
Zach Wilson, making his fourth consecutive start in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers, finished the game with 19 completions on 26 attempts for 199 yards.
