Burrow’s TD pass to Higgins lifts Bengals over Titans 20-16

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Cincinnati Bengals have a knack for beating the Tennessee Titans at their own game — by playing more physically and forcing the opponent into mistakes at the wrong time. Joe Burrow threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins with 13:42 left to put Cincinnati ahead to stay, and the Bengals held off the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Sunday for their third straight victory and fifth in six games. You’ve got to find ways to win, and we’re starting to do that.” The defending AFC champion Bengals won the rematch of their divisional playoff victory over Tennessee despite not having running back Joe Mixon because he hadn’t cleared the concussion protocol. “They played better than we did.” Taylor credited the Bengals with executing coordinator Lou Anarumo’s plan perfectly. “They hit the quarterback, and they made play after play to win us back the field position there in the second half and allow us to go win it.” Ryan Tannehill threw for 291 yards, but the Titans couldn’t score a touchdown in three trips to the red zone.
