CINCINNATI — The Bengals beat the Cowboys 27-20 on Monday night.

Joe Burrow found Ja'Marr Chase for a 40-yard touchdown with 1:01 remaining to clinch the victory.

The Bengals improve to 5-8 on the season and snap a three-game losing streak. Here are our postgame observations:

Chase's Lead the Way

Chase finished with a game-high 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns.

Chase was dominant throughout the game and he wasn't the only one.

Chase Brown was a huge factor. He ran for 58 yards and also had six receptions for 65 yards and one touchdown.

Both Chase and Brown led the way for a Bengals' offense that was inconsistent, but produced just enough to get the win.

Burrow Balls Out

Burrow completed 33-of-44 passes (75%) of his passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

He played at a high level throughout the game, outside of a third quarter interception.

Burrow continues to play at an elite level and is a big reason why Cincinnati snapped their losing streak.

Defense Steps Up

The Bengals' defense has struggled all season long, but they had a solid game on Monday night. They forced four punts, had an interception and closed out the game by getting a stop in the final minute to clinch the win.

Key Sequence

The Bengals were forced to punt on 4th-and-26 and Nick Vigil blocked the punt, but it was touched by a Cowboys player, which means it's a live ball.

The Bengals recovered, which gave the offense another chance. Chase scored three plays later. Watch the sequence below:

Up Next

The Bengals head to Nashville to play the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. ET.
