"By far," Burrow said at his weekly news conference after Wednesday's practice. I'm confident I can run around and extend plays right now. It's tough to say a percentage … It's getting better and better." Burrow's longest completion of the year, Sunday's 63-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, has been reported by Next Gen Stats as the longest ball as he's thrown ever in the pros through the air.

Chase set a Bengals single-game record with 15 receptions for 192 yards and three TDs. His 15 catches led all NFL players in Week 5 and surpassed the previous team record of 13 by former WR Carl Pickens on Oct. 11, 1998. Chase's receiving yardage total and three scores each were the most among AFC players last week.

Irwin, the affable and able backup wide receiver who understudied so well Sunday for the inactive Tee Higgins (rib), could see why someone might nominate him for Best Supporting Actor In a Must Road Win. He had a career-high eight catches, and two crafty punt returns of at least 21 yards.

Sunday's win had all the whiff of last year's road win in New Orleans that shoved them to 3-3. The Bengals went on to win 11 of the next 12 and reached the AFC title game. "This kind of feels like last year in New Orleans a little bit. It means nothing if you don't go out there and build on it," Burrow said after their first road win of the year and first win ever in five road games against the Cardinals. "I knew we had to win it. We had to win in New Orleans last year too. So similar feeling."

"Is Joe Burrow back?" he was asked. "What did he look like today? He looked pretty good to me," Chase said after his massive 192-yard day. "I'm not going to answer that, but I think y'all can see." What you could see is the first and last of Chase's three touchdowns, both pre-calf strain red-zone rockets unleashed by Burrow. The last one, Chase's 14th and record-breaking catch from three yards out, made it 31-20 with just under eight minutes left and was the ballgame.
