Now Burrow has old and new playmakers coming out of the woodwork. On a day three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase added another 50-plus touchdown on his 63-yard-catch-and-run, Moss made the play of the day on a one-yard swing pass on the do-or-die last play of the first half.

Burrow’s new weapon, freshly arrived from the Colts, has already blue-collared his way into his trust. With time running out for a field goal and Burrow’s progressions dangerously taking him to Moss on the perimeter, both believed.

A stunned Moss caught it and slipped before powering into the end zone with a second left.

“I trust Zack,” Burrow said.

Plus, Chase Brown, who had more carries than he had all year, is romping on 6.3 yards per with the help of Sunday’s 20-yard burst. He’s on pace with Moss, who added a 21-yard catch off Burrow’s miraculous scramble, to rush for about 800 yards for the most balanced backfield since Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill in 2015.

Then there’s wide receiver Andrei Iosivas, getting more and more comfortable in the slot, logging the longest catch of his career in the decisive two-minute drill at the end of the first half when he held onto a 29-yard seam ball despite taking a hellacious sandwich shot.

“We’ve been moving around, making plays. The team looked pretty good starting out the first half, which is what we needed, someone to keep the momentum up for us, and all around everybody is making plays,” Ja’Marr Chase said of spreading the wealth.

“That was big not only for Chase but the receivers too, having to block for Chase, knowing where we have to, set the big hole up for him to finish. It was an outstanding job by the receivers today, too.”

Ja’Marr Chase sounded as giddy as he played. He gave the touchdown ball to his grandparents who live nearby after never really hearing Burrow’s pre-game speech emphasizing the-backs-to-the-wall theme. He still had his music in (“My Cousin,” by Kodak) and a towel draped over his head.

“He did it in college once,” Chase said of the LSU days. “He’s always had that fire in him. Just letting us know he’s still a leader.”

Burrow’s fire engulfed Chase after Chase avoided two hits over the middle with one of his spinning dance moves on third-and-three before racing down the right sideline on his first target of the day to give the Bengals a 14-7 lead halfway through the second quarter. Burrow sped down the field and vaulted through the air to greet him.

“That was an unbelievable play. He continues to make incredible plays like that. That’s just a reminder for me, you’ve just got to find ways to get him the ball,” Burrow said. “They gave us a pressure look and dropped out of it. Brought one of those guys, and the offensive line did a great job on that play. I could have sat back there for another five seconds if I wanted to.”

He could because while Sample picked up the guy who was coming, linebacker Shaq Thompson, rookie right tackle Amarius Mims steered the dangerous Jadeveon Clowney past Burrow.
