Cincinnati Bengals fans have a good reason to feel good about the next games if the game against the Arizona Cardinals will be the barometer.
The team's top duo, Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow, showed up big time to carry the Bengals into a 34-20 win.
The pair has been struggling since the season's return, but the game against the Cardinals could indicate they are back in form.
Chase did not explicitly say Burrow is ready to wreck teams again but believes his showing can dispel any notion that he is not yet 100 percent.
"What did he look like today? He looked pretty good to me. I'm not going to answer that, but I think y'all can see," said Chase, who made pretty good plays, including breaking the Carl Pickens' 25-year-old club record of 13 catches in a game.
"It feels good. It wasn't my goal to break the record," Chase said. "When the ball came to me I was just trying to make as many catches that came my way."
Burrow, on his huge day of the 2023 season
Quarterback Burrow said his game against the Cardinals is big for his recovery. He entered the game with the worst YPA (4.8) ever for a quarterback with 150+ passes.
"It's something I haven't been able to do the last couple of weeks," he said.
When your quarterback can't do that, can't scramble for first downs, can't extend the play a little bit to find some guys, it's tough to move the ball. It felt good today. I'll keep getting better, so I'm excited."
