Bengals' Record 10-Minute TD Drive, Burrow to Chase, Extends Eagles' Historic First-Quarter Scoring Drought

Oct 27, 2024, 05:16 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals seized an early advantage over the Philadelphia Eagles with a dominating 17-play, 70-yard touchdown drive that consumed 10 minutes and 4 seconds—the longest touchdown drive by any team this season. Quarterback Joe Burrow was nearly perfect, completing 11 of 12 passes for 60 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. On the touchdown play, Burrow rolled to his right and connected with Chase, who was matched against linebacker Nolan Smith. The Bengals were clinical on third downs, converting all five attempts during the drive. The Eagles' pass rush, which was relentless against Giants quarterback Daniel Jones last week, was ineffective, failing to disrupt Burrow. With this game, the Eagles became the first team since 2000 to go eight weeks without scoring in the first quarter, continuing their season-long first-quarter scoring drought. Their opening drive extended into the second quarter and concluded with a 39-yard field goal by Jake Elliott, bringing the score to 7-3 in favor of the Bengals early in the second quarter.
