Week 6 of the NFL season brought desperation for struggling teams, including the Cincinnati Bengals who entered the game with a 1-4 record. Despite a usually high-performing offense, it was the Bengals’ defense that secured a 17-7 win against the New York Giants. The defense held the Giants to points on only one of their 10 drives, breaking a streak of allowing 10+ points in 75 consecutive games. Bengals QB Joe Burrow faced pressure from the Giants defense, being sacked four times, but made a crucial throw late in the game to seal the win. Running back Chase Brown scored the game-sealing touchdown with a 30-yard run. With this win, the Bengals kept their slim playoff hopes alive. The Giants, now 0-3 at home this season, will face the Philadelphia Eagles in their upcoming game, while the Bengals will take on the Cleveland Browns on the road.
