Bengals Win Over Cowboys Sealed by Late Special Teams Error

A blocked punt mishap by Dallas set up Joe Burrow's game-winning touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase in the final minutes.

Joe Burrow connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a 40-yard touchdown with 1:01 remaining, securing a 27-20 win for the Cincinnati Bengals over the Dallas Cowboys.
The Bengals capitalized on a critical error by Dallas cornerback Amani Oruwariye, who mishandled a blocked punt, allowing Cincinnati to retain possession late in the game.
Ja'Marr Chase delivered a standout performance with 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns, solidifying his position as the NFL leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
Joe Burrow became the first quarterback since 2018 to throw for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in four consecutive games, despite sustaining a minor knee injury during the match.
The loss dealt a severe blow to the Cowboys' playoff hopes, dropping them to 5-8, while the Bengals snapped a three-game losing streak to keep their slim postseason chances alive.
