The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Dallas Cowboys 27-20 in a thrilling Monday Night Football game, improving their record to 5-8. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 33 of 44 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase excelled with 14 receptions on 18 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns, surpassing 5,000 career receiving yards. His performance included a 40-yard go-ahead touchdown with one minute remaining. The game featured a bizarre play reminiscent of the Leon Lett incident, where the Cowboys blocked a Bengals punt, but a Dallas player accidentally touched the ball, allowing Cincinnati to recover and retain possession. Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was visibly frustrated on the sideline following this miscue. The Cowboys, now 1-6 in home games this season, struggled with critical errors in the final moments, leading to their defeat.
