Joe Burrow passed for 309 yards and threw four touchdown passes to lead the Bengals to a 45-21 rout of the Dolphins.

Miami led 14-10 with 2:24 remaining in the second quarter, but Cincinnati scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives, not counting a one-play kneel down to end the first half. Running back Chase Brown had three of the touchdowns on a run of 12 yards and receptions of 9 and 5 yards.

Ja’Marr Chase caught nine passes for 109 yards. He went over 500 catches for his career, leaving him as the only wide receiver with at least 500 catches, at least 6,500 yards and at least 50 touchdowns in his first five seasons.

Tee Higgins had three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.

Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers, who has replaced Tua Tagovailoa as the starter, made his NFL debut and completed 20 of 30 passes for 260 yards and two interceptions. Both picks, one by Barrett Carter and one by Jalen Davis, came in the second half, and the Bengals converted both into touchdowns.

Malik Washington scored on a 9-yard run and Jaylen Wright on a 3-yard run.
