In a crucial matchup, Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to a 17-7 victory over the New York Giants, scoring on a career-long 47-yard run on the opening drive. The Bengals' defense, despite being ranked low in scoring defense, held the Giants to just one touchdown.

Evan McPherson's 37-yard field goal in the third quarter and Chase Brown's late 30-yard run secured the win for Cincinnati, while the Giants struggled offensively, missing key opportunities and failing to capitalize on their chances.
