LSU's two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks put on an offensive display Monday night at Paycor Stadium with the Commanders' Jayden Daniels barely outpitching the Bengals' Joe Burrow in Washington's 38-33 victory.

Burrow completed 29-of-38 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns and drew the Bengals' deficit to 31-26 on his second touchdown pass of the night to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with 9:42 left.

But Daniels went 21 of 23, good for an NFL rookie-record 91 percent passing, with his final completion being a 27-yard touchdown pass against the blitz with 2:10 left to wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

The Bengals piled up 436 yards of offense, rushing for 124 yards and Chase adding 118 through the air.

NOTES

Joe's 100th Touchdown Pass Opens Scoring

Joe Burrow capped off the Bengals' six-play opening drive with a 41-yard bomb to Ja'Marr Chase that put Cincinnati in front just 3:23 into the game. It marked the Bengals' quickest touchdown scored since Week 16 of the 2022 season at New England, when Tee Higgins found the end zone 2:36 into the first quarter.

The play marked Burrow's 100th career touchdown pass in his 55th regular-season game, tying him for the seventh-fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach the century mark. It also was his 20th career touchdown pass of 40 or more yards, the most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2020.

For Chase, it was his 12th career touchdown catch of 40-plus yards, the second-most leaguewide since his 2021 NFL debut (Kansas City/Miami WR Tyreek Hill has 13). It also marked Chase's first 40-plus-yard reception of any kind since his 76-yard touchdown in Week 13 of last season at Jacksonville.

Ja'Marr Goes For 100+, Two Touchdowns

Burrow found Chase down the right sideline for a 31-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to pull the Bengals within five. It gave Chase his seventh career game with multiple receiving touchdowns, the third-most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2021.

Chase finished the game with six catches for a season-high 118 yards. He now has 15 career games with 100-plus receiving yards, the eighth-most leaguewide since 2021.

Three On The Year For Yoshi

Burrow connected with second-year receiver Andrei Iosivas on fourth-and-goal late in the third quarter, and the Princeton product reached the ball just over the goal line to cut Cincinnati's deficit to one possession. It marked Iosivas' third touchdown of the season, and the seventh of his career on just 25 total receptions.

McPherson Logs 100th Attempt

Evan McPherson's 28-yard field goal midway through the second quarter marked his 100th career field goal attempt. His 84 made field goals are the third-most in team history through any kicker's first 100 attempts, trailing Shayne Graham and Randy Bullock (87 each).

Linebacker Duo Fills Tackle Column Again

Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt combined for 18 tackles, as each player finished with nine to tie for the team lead. Combining Wilson's total tonight with his 12 stops in each of the first two weeks, he became the first Bengals player since linebacker Nick Vigil in 2018 to post nine or more tackles in three straight games to open a season.

Pratt and Wilson have 33 total tackles apiece this season, which are tied for the most over the first three weeks of a season by any Bengals player since at least 1987. They also are two of the four Bengals ever to total 30-plus stops through the team's first three games, joining Vigil (32 in 2018) and linebacker Dhani Jones (32 in 2008).

Historic Offensive Night

The Bengals came away with points on six of their seven offensive drives, with the one outlier being a missed field goal try in the second quarter. Washington, meanwhile, scored on each of its six true possessions (two kneel-downs at end of the first half and end of game). It marked the first NFL game since 1940 in which neither team punted or committed a turnover.

QUOTES

"We have to create our own opportunities. When you lose three one-score games, no one is going to give you anything. Again, there's no gift we're expecting to receive. We have to go take it. We haven't done enough really dictating the tempo of the game, collectively — offense, defense, special teams. There hasn't been one unit that's really dominated to take the pressure off the other unit, so this falls on everybody. It's frustrating." - Head Coach Zac Taylor, on how to move forward after an 0-3 start

"It's an exciting opportunity, just like every season is. There's going to be some big games down the stretch that we're going to have to step up for. We haven't played any division opponents yet. The Steelers are 3-0, other teams are 1-2, we're 0-3. We play all six of those games coming up. We're by no means out of it. Playoffs and winning the division is the furthest thing from my mind. We have got to get better this week." - Quarterback Joe Burrow, on overcoming adversity moving forward

"You know, it's the NFL. Crazy things happen in this league. Anyone can beat anyone each week. We just have to put it together. We got it. Every game we've lost is a one-score game. It's not like we're not there." - Safety Geno Stone, on the state of the team after three games
