On November 3, 2024, the Cincinnati Bengals secured their first home win of the season, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 at Paycor Stadium. Quarterback Joe Burrow tied his career high and moved into a tie for second in the NFL for touchdown passes, throwing five touchdowns in a stellar performance. He completed 22 of 27 passes for 249 yards, spreading the ball to seven different receivers, with six of them gaining at least 10 yards. Burrow connected with tight end Mike Gesicki for Gesicki's first touchdowns as a Bengal, including a late 47-yard score, and found Chase Brown for another touchdown. At halftime, Burrow had already completed 18 of 21 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals led 31-10 in the third quarter and pulled away in the second half. The Raiders, who have now lost five straight games, managed a late touchdown when quarterback Desmond Ridder connected with Brock Bowers, but it was insufficient to overcome the deficit. With this victory, the Bengals improve their record to 4-5 and look ahead to a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
