Thursday night felt like 2024, with Joe Burrow leading impressive scoring drives when he had the ball, but the Cincinnati Bengals coming up short on the scoreboard.
Burrow went 9-of-10 passing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on his only two drives in the Bengals' 34-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in front of 69,879 fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Bengals' offense wasn't perfect during those first two drives. Cincinnati offensive lineman Lucas Patrick was called for a chop block that took away a touchdown pass from Burrow to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase on the first drive.
Following the game, Burrow told reporters he and the offense could have been better against the defending Super Bowl champion's second-string defense.
"I wouldn't say I didn't like anything," Burrow said
