FULL BOX SCORE
Nick Shook’s NFL+ moment of the game:
One of the most entertaining games of the 2023 season was chock-full of fantastic sequences. Honestly, watch the whole replay (in a condensed version, of course, because we all have things to get done). But if we’re looking for a great sequence in this back-and-forth affair, let’s advance to the middle of the third quarter, where Bengals coach Zac Taylor called a receiver pass in a tie game. Josh Allen picked it off, leading to a Trevor Lawrence touchdown on a QB sneak. Cincinnati responded with a nine-play, 48-yard touchdown drive, and disaster struck when Lawrence suffered an ankle injury that forced him out of the game. Cincinnati capitalized, kicking a field goal to regain the lead at 31-28. Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard answered with a drive that ended in a Brandon McManus field goal to send it to overtime, where the Bengals forced a stop, then went on a methodical 12-play drive, covering 42 yards before Evan McPherson drilled the game-winner. Like I said, just watch the whole game. It’s worth your time.
