Turnovers into touchdowns!

The Bengals took a bigger lead over the Titans on Sunday with a one-play scoring drive via Joe Burrow's arm delivering a pass to Tee Higgins. They lead 21-13 in the third quarter.

Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, and the Bengals' defense set up the 17-yard score with Mafe's strip and Lawrence's scoop that he almost got to paydirt.

Cincinnati has scored 21 unanswered points on the 1-6 Titans after starting slow for the second consecutive week. They can shut the door in a blowout down the stretch here.
