Bengals vs. Chargers score, live updates: Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert engage in a thrilling matchup in Los Angeles

The Cincinnati Bengals are no strangers to pulling themselves out of an early season hole. Last season they almost made it to the play-offs after a 1-3 start. In 2022, they opened 1-2 en route to an AFC championship appearance. In 2021, the Bengals were 5-4 before blowing out en route to the Super Bowl.

After a 1-4 start to this season, the Bengals sit at 4-6 but in an enviable spot heading into Week 11, with a chance to gain ground on any of the teams ahead of them in the AFC wild-card race , the Los Angeles Chargers.

LA has found its stride under head coach Jim Harbaugh and is racing to a 6-3 start, leaving the Chargers firmly in the hunt in the AFC playoffs, even though they entered Week 11 three games behind the Chiefs in the division . The Chargers hang their hat on the No. 6 total defense and No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL, and they’ll have to step up after Joe Borrow (35 of 56, 428 yards, 4 TD) and Ja’Marr Chase (11 catches, 264 yards , 3 TD) torched the Ravens in a thrilling 35-34 loss on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.
