The Cincinnati Bengals shocked by actually coming out on the right side of a one-score game on Monday night, besting the Dallas Cowboys 27-20.
Granted, the Bengals needed a mind-numbing mistake from the Cowboys on special teams to actually pull out the win. That and 369 passing yards and three scores from Joe Burrow, with 177 of those yards and two scores going to Ja’Marr Chase on his 14 catches.
Still, a win is a win and the Bengals technically aren’t eliminated from playoff contention just yet.
As one can probably imagine, Bengals fans had plenty of things to say about all of it after the game went final:
I get the whole rooting for draft position thing, and I do too, but it still feels great to win.

The Bengals should hand Ja’Marr Chase a blank check and pay him whatever he wants. He deserves every penny. Please don’t mess this up @Bengals.

Credit to 9. Tough as they get.

The Bengals dropped from 9th to 11th in the 2025 NFL draft order with their Cowboys win.
There is a mess of teams in the 9-18 range. A few more wins at the end of year could drop them to the 14th-18th pick range.
Do with that information what you will.

If you haven’t watched the Bengals all year, Joe Burrow is 100% correct: they deserved a break.

I’m truly sorry to be that guy, but I just can’t be excited after that win. Really glad to see Chase with another big game, but with like a 4% chance to make the playoffs, I just can’t…
