Cincinnati answered the Steelers with a sharp Joe Burrow throwing session to tie things up 7-7 on Sunday. Burrow found his favorite target in Chase, and he stretched for the end zone after a long Week 3 drive where the Bengals passer went 7-of-7 with 60 yards passing and the Bengals score.

It was one of their first drives while trailing this season, Burrow posted a 142 passer rating in response.
