CINCINNATI — The Bengals red-hot offense continued to soar starting out Sunday's game against the Steelers. Cincinnati scored on their opening drive of the game with a nice 28-yard TD catch by Tee Higgins.

Cincinnati will need its defense to show a pulse at some point but Joe Flacco and the offense are keeping them in the fight this season.

Check out the strike below and the drive log that made it all happen across 10 plays:
