Joe Burrow overcame his calf injury to push his Cincinnati Bengals to the win over Los Angeles Rams 19-16 on Monday night to get their first win after starting the season with two defeats.

Joe Mixon’s 14-yard touchdown in the third quarter gave the reigning AFC North champs their first lead of the season. At the same time Logan Wilson picked off Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford twice and the Bengals sacked him six times.

Stafford threw a 1-yard scoring pass to Tutu Atwell with just over a minute left in the game, and the PAT got the Rams to within three points, hoping they can turn things around, but Mitchell Wilcox fell on the ensuing onside kick to seal the win for the Bengals (1-2).
