How It Started

The opening quarter was a disaster. The defense allowed the Titans to kick an early field goal. The offense answered with a three-and-out. Tony Pollard then broke loose for a 40-yard touchdown run against a defense that couldn’t stop him.

Things got worse when Burrow threw an interception on the next drive, and the Titans pushed the lead to 13-0. It looked as bad as it could get.

Burrow never gave in. He opened the second quarter with a 30-yard touchdown pass down the middle to Ja’Marr Chase on 3rd-and-18, as Chase sliced between two defenders. Tennessee fumbled on its next possession, but the Bengals couldn’t turn it into points. They finished the job later in the quarter when Burrow found Jack Endries for a touchdown, taking a 14-13 lead at halftime.

The Offensive Explosion

The second half was a shootout. Burrow hit Tee Higgins for a 17-yard touchdown to make it 21-13, but Pollard answered with his second rushing score to tie the game at 21. Then Pollard made a costly blunder and was tackled for a safety in the back of the Titans’ end zone late in the third quarter.

Tennessee took the lead back in the fourth on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward to Chimere Dike. Burrow responded with a 25-yard touchdown to Mike Gesicki, putting Cincinnati up 29-28. Ward then connected with Wan’Dale Robinson to make it 36-29 with 3:41 left.

Burrow was not done. He fired an 18-yard touchdown pass to Higgins to tie it at 36 and force overtime. In the extra period, Burrow took matters into his own hands and ran nine yards for the score. The defense then stopped the Titans on their drive to seal the win.

What It Means For The Division

The victory moves the Bengals to 5-2 and into second place in the AFC North, just a half game behind the Steelers. The division picture is shifting in their favor. Baltimore is in turmoil after losing Lamar Jackson indefinitely, and the Browns fell to 5-3. Cincinnati has momentum and a real shot at the division title.

Next up is a special trip to Spain, where the Bengals face the Atlanta Falcons. Coming off a comeback like this, they are sure to draw attention from Ohio sports betting apps users looking for the next line. Whether you’re tracking the spread or just following the standings, this Bengals team is worth watching.
