For the third time in Joe Burrow’s four seasons — and the third straight — the Bengals have started the season 0-2. But Week 3 is when they come alive.

It didn’t take long for that to happen.

Just 3:23 into Monday Night Football, Burrow connected with Ja’Marr Chase for a 41-yard touchdown. It was Chase’s first touchdown of the season.

He passed rookie Mike Sainristil and scored with ease.

Chase now has two catches for 42 yards, while Burrow completed 3 of 3 passes for 50 yards on the opening six-play, 71-yard drive.
