Try jotting down all the things that actually happened last night. I'm sure I'm leaving many things out below:
*Fourth straight win. First win this year vs a team with a winning record. Won their second one score game in the last four weeks.
*Joe Burrow hit Tee Higgins for a 3-yard TD with 1:07 left in overtime to win it.
*Burrow made a heck of a throw, and Higgins a heck of a toe-tap 31-yard catch, at the three yard line with 1:14 remaining in OT.
*That was the first overtime offensive TD in Bengals history. They had one defensive TD, a Pick 6 by Corey Sawyer.
*Cade York missed a 33-yard FG that would have won it with 2:49 left in OT.
*A tie would have eliminated the Bengals.
*Back-to-back three and outs forced by Bengals defense in OT.
*17-17 with 5:06 left in the game, Higgins fumbled a 3rd down catch at the Broncos 43. It was initially ruled incomplete, but overturned to complete/fumble on Denver challenge.
*17-17 with 2:30 left, Germaine Pratt picked off Bo Nix at the Bengals 40. Burrow marched the Bengals 6 plays, 59 yards in 1:01 to take the lead on a QB sneak.
*Chase Brown injured his ankle sliding/attempting not to score at the one yard line with 1:31 left in the game. He left the game and never returned.
*Burrow 412 yards...3 TD. Extended NFL record streak to eight straight games with at least 250 yards and 3 TD. Burrow was sacked 7 times. 7.
*Tee, in perhaps his final home game as a Bengal, 11 catches, 131 yards and 3 TD.
*The Bo Nix 51-yard game tying TD throw beat Stone/Hilton with 8:48 left. Throw was 61 yards in the air, longest in NFL this season (CBS).
*After carrying four times for 22 yards in his seven previous games after being acquired in a trade, RB Kahlil Herbert carried four times for 23 yards in OT.
*Amarius Mims injured his ankle and left the game, replaced by Devin Cochran.
*The Bengals OL took exception to Burrow being knocked around and pushed and shoved with Broncos players.
*Three red zone failures:
-No. 1 Chase Brown stopped on 3rd & 2, 4th & 1 opening drive at Denver 22.
-No. 2 Joe Burrow sacked 4th & goal at 2. Ja’Marr Chase dropped 3rd pass in the endzone. Burrow misfired to Gesicki on 1st down at goal line.
-No. 3 Settled for 22-yard FG after seven plays from Broncos 8 yard line or closer.
*Time of possession: Bengals 41:56. Broncos 26:57.
*Plays: Bengals 84, Broncos 60.
