MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Chase Brown scored three times in one quarter while the Cincinnati Bengals forced three turnovers Sunday in a 45-21 thrashing of the Miami Dolphins.

The game was tight throughout the first half until the Bengals offense awakened for 28 consecutive points in the lopsided victory in Miami Gardens, Fla. Jalen Davis and Barrett Carter logged interceptions for the Bengals. Myles Murphy recorded a forced fumble.

Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers, who made his first NFL start in place of former starter Tua Tagovailoa, completed 18 of 25 passes for 228 yards. He was sharp early on, but an avalanche of mistakes triggered a major momentum shift.

Brown, the first player this season to score three times in one quarter, logged 109 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 309 yards and four scores.
