Overview
- Joe Burrow accounted for six total touchdowns and threw for 462 yards in the Bengals’ 43-36 overtime win on Sunday, Nov. 1.
- Cincinnati overcame a 13-0 start by Tennessee with sustained passing drives and big games from Tee Higgins (10 catches, 155 yards, 2 TDs) and Ja’Marr Chase (11 catches, 141 yards, 1 TD) to force overtime.
- The Bengals turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions by Amani Hooker, and allowed roughly 440 yards to the Titans, exposing clear defensive and ball-security issues.
- Tennessee produced its best offensive showing of the season despite missing recently traded DT Jeffery Simmons and inactive WR Carnell Tate, as Cam Ward posted his first 300-yard passing game and Tony Pollard ran for 117 yards and two scores.
- Cincinnati improves to 5-2 and will play in Madrid next week while the team must address defensive lapses and turnovers if Joe Burrow’s growing MVP case is to hold up over the rest of the season.
