Burrow’s Return Sparks Bengals Victory

Joe Burrow returned after a nine-week absence due to a turf toe injury, leading the Cincinnati Bengals to a 32-14 victory against the Baltimore Ravens. This game took place in Maryland on November 28, 2025.

Burrow completed 24 of 46 passes for 261 yards, throwing two second-half touchdowns. His performance snapped Baltimore’s five-game winning streak, leaving the Ravens with a 6-6 record this season.

The Bengals’ defense was instrumental, forcing five turnovers from the Ravens, who had fumbled three times in the first half. With this win, Cincinnati improved to 4-8, maintaining a slim 2% chance of reaching the playoffs.

Prescott Leads Cowboys Past Chiefs

In a high-stakes matchup, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-28 at AT&T Stadium. Quarterback Dak Prescott contributed significantly, completing 27 of 39 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns.

This victory marked the Cowboys’ third consecutive win, improving their record to 6-5-1. They have recently beaten two previous Super Bowl champions—Kansas City and the Philadelphia Eagles.

In contrast, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes showcased his skills with 261 yards and four touchdowns, despite the loss. Dallas prepares for their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions next Thursday.

Love’s Performance Fuels Packers’ Win
