The Bengals capitalized on a fumble by the Browns, driving 99 yards for a touchdown, further extending their lead.

Looking ahead, the Browns will host the Miami Dolphins on December 29, while the Bengals will face the Denver Broncos on December 28, both teams aiming to secure playoff positions.

In a decisive matchup on December 22, 2024, Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to a 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns, throwing three touchdown passes.

Burrow completed 23 of 30 passes for 252 yards, marking his seventh consecutive game with three or more touchdown passes, and his performance this season is being hailed as MVP-caliber.

Chase is now just one touchdown away from matching Carl Pickens' franchise record of 17 touchdowns and needs five more receptions to break T.J. Houshmandzadeh's record of 112.

Cleveland's Dorian Thompson-Robinson, filling in for the injured Jameis Winston, struggled with two interceptions and was sacked five times, passing for 157 yards.

With this win, the Bengals improved their record to 7-8, but they must win their final two games against the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Despite Burrow's impressive statistics, the Bengals entered the game with a 6-8 record, facing challenges due to a struggling defense that has put their playoff chances in jeopardy.

Ja'Marr Chase had a standout performance, recording six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, breaking his own franchise record for receiving yards in a season with 1,510 yards.

Myles Garrett achieved his 100th career sack during the game, highlighting the Browns' defensive efforts despite their offensive struggles.

This season has been Chase's best yet, fulfilling his ambition to break franchise records while maintaining his dedication to the sport, as evidenced by his goal-setting practices.

Burrow's first touchdown came in the first quarter when he threw to Tee Higgins while falling, a play that showcased his agility and led to a 7-0 lead after a review confirmed the touchdown.
