Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went out of his way to praise rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton on Thursday. The 27-year-old was asked about tight end Erick All, who has quickly become a big part of Cincinnati's offense.

On one side, players and coaches have expressed the disappointment that comes with starting 0-2 for the third straight season and the fifth time in the past six years. On the other -- as quarterback Joe Burrow pointed out Thursday -- is that the familiarity that comes with the slow start means Cincinnati knows what it will take to snap the skid and beat the Washington Commanders on Monday night.

Kansas City had a fourth-and-16 late in the game when a pass-interference call against Cincinnati rookie safety Daijahn Anthony gave the Chiefs a first down within the range of Harrison Butker. Three plays later, Butker kicked a 51-yard game winner as time ran out.
