Burrow’s resurgence has 5-3 Bengals in playoff race again. Rough stretch of division foes ahead

Associated Press  

CINCINNATI — The first eight games of the season brought panic, disappointment, bewilderment, hope and elation for the Cincinnati Bengals and their fans. They roared out of the break and — with Burrow now completely healthy — beat the 49ers 31-17 before showing a national TV audience they are still AFC playoff contenders with a 24-18 victory over the Buffalo Bills before a record crowd on Sunday night in Cincinnati. “There’s a lot more out there for us,” said receiver Tee Higgins, who had eight catches for a season-high 110 yards against Buffalo. “I feel like we still haven’t gotten to our peak yet.” In the past four games, Burrow has thrown for 1,113 yards and 10 touchdowns. Cincinnati allowed 258 passing yards and a late touchdown, but also picked off quarterback Josh Allen and forced a red zone fumble to keep the Bills playing from behind.
