The Bengals’ defense gave up 356 yards of total offense and did not force a Washington punt.

It was a matchup of three former LSU offensive stars: Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow, and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

Daniels was drafted out of LSU in 2024 while the Bengals drafted Burrow and Chase in 2020.
