EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had the longest touchdown run of his career and the Cincinnati defense came up with a late stop on fourth down for a 17-7 win over the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Up 10-7, Cincinnati (2-4) forced New York's Daniel Jones to throw an incompletion on fourth-and-2 from the Bengals 36 with 3:01 left in the game.
Five plays later, Chase Brown rushed up the middle for a 30-yard touchdown to put the game out of reach.
The Giants (2-4) had a chance to make it a one-possession game with 51 seconds left, but Greg Joseph missed a 45-yard field-goal attempt. Joseph also failed to convert from 47 yards out earlier in the fourth quarter, and that kick would have tied the contest at 10.
Burrow opened the scoring just 3:28 into the first quarter, making a 47-yard trip to the end zone. He was the Bengals' leading rusher (four carries, 55 yards) and completed 19 of 28 passes for 208 yards.
Tee Higgins hauled in seven catches for 77 yards, while Brown finished with 53 yards and the late score on 10 carries.
Burrow was treated in the blue medical tent after taking a hit from Brian Burns and slamming the back of his head into the turf with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. Jake Browning began warming up on the sideline, but Burrow ended up staying in the game.
Jones finished with 205 yards and a pick on 22-for-41 passing. He was also New York's top rusher, collecting 56 yards on 11 carries. Tyrone Tracy Jr. added 50 yards and a TD on the ground.
The Giants totaled 119 yards in the first half in falling into a 7-0 hole. They finally drew even when Tracy capped a monster 16-play, 79-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 5:48 remaining in the third quarter.
Zack Moss allowed New York to go on that march by fumbling at the Giants 25.
Cincinnati answered, though, driving 51 yards to Evan McPherson's 37-yard field goal and a 10-7 edge on the ensuing possession. Brown had a TD nullified two plays before the kick because of an offensive holding call.
