Joe Flacco Leads Bengals on Touchdown Drive After Jets Miss Fourth-Down Chance

CINCINNATI — Joe Flacco and the Bengals took advantage of a nice fourth-down stop by the defense to score the first touchdown on Sunday against New York.

The Jets oddly chose to toss the ball outside on 4th & Inches to give the Bengals a short field, and Flacco punched it in from the Jets' goal line shortly after to lead 10-0.

Check out the plays below and a drive log on the score.
