The Cincinnati Bengals completed a furious comeback against the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth quarter, then won the game in overtime Sunday. 

The Bengals overcame a 24–7 deficit, tying the game with no time left on the clock in regulation on a Mike Nugent field goal. After a tight first quarter, Seattle scored 17 straight points to take the 24–7 lead into the fourth.

Cincinnati’s offense finally woke up, scoring 17 points in the final frame of regulation to send the game into overtime. After a few scoreless possessions, Nugent hit his second field goal of the game, barely sneaking in the kick, with the ball bouncing off the left upright and back through the posts.

Cincinnati is now 5–0 on the season.
