If you missed the game in Madrid, here's what happened: Ja'Marr Chase caught eight passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in the first half against Atlanta. It's the most yards by a Bengals player in a first half since 1988.

Cincinnati built a 21-10 lead in the game's first 25 minutes. Joe Burrow, who said afterward the two are "coming on 10 years playing together," had a ranking in mind for receivers:

“I'm going to have a hard time putting anybody above number one”

The Wrap

Seeing blooms in November isn't your eyes playing tricks. Plants can bloom again outside of spring, a condition called repeat blooming, or "Remontant," a French word meaning "to rise again." Ohio State University Extension's Joe Boggs says it's triggered by "some form of non-life-threatening stress," and it's not uncommon in southern Ohio. Spring wishes it had this kind of encore.
