Burrow’s 3 TD passes lead Bengals past 49ers 31-17

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Joe Burrow threw three touchdown passes, Cincinnati intercepted Brock Purdy on back-to-back passes in the second half and the Bengals beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-17 for their fourth win in five games.

After being hampered early in the season by a calf injury, Burrow came out of the bye week looking like his old self for the Bengals.

He managed to escape a sack attempt on a TD drive in the first quarter, had two long runs and was sharp all game throwing the ball against the 49ers.

San Francisco has lost three straight games.
