A questionable call went against Dolphins undrafted rookie WR Theo Wease in Sunday’s game against the Bengals, and Miami never recovered.

Joe Burrow’s Bengals put an exclamation point on that idea on Sunday in a tale of two franchises: One still fighting for momentum and silver linings and another that has thrown in the towel and limping home. Cincinnati’s 45-21 win says it all on that front.

Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers made a few good plays in his first start but couldn't do enough to keep up with the red-hot Bengals offense. Ewers threw two interceptions in the third quarter which helped the Bengals put the game out of reach. Ewers finished his starting debut with 20 completions on 30 pass attempts for 260 yards.

The Bengals’ offensive stars all shone Sunday, as Burrow finished 25-of-32 with 309 yards and four touchdown passes, peppering Ja’Marr Chase for 109 of those yards, while running back Chase Brown finished with three scores.

The Bengals are coming off a 45-point outburst against the Miami Dolphins, and now get a Cardinals defense that believes a decent performance every couple of week is enough. They did a decent enough job against the Falcons, and their kicking game and offense was putrid.
