CINCINNATI — The Bengals are going back and forth with the Dolphins on the road. Joe Burrow pulled off some of his signature magic on another Bengals scoring drive that Samaje Perine capped off with a four-yard rushing touchdown.

The play put Cincinnati up 17-14 before half in a fun game down south. Burrow hit Drew Sample on a fun 27-yard throwback pass play to help set up the score.
