Burrow throws 3-yard TD pass to Higgins in OT as the Bengals beat the Broncos 30-24
Associated PressCINCINNATI — This time, near the very end of a mostly agonizing season, the Cincinnati Bengals made enough plays to win. Joe Burrow threw his third touchdown pass to Tee Higgins with 1:07 left in overtime, and the Bengals kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a wild 30-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday. “It feels like we had a couple of those this year, and it’s nice to come out on top in one.” After Denver’s second punt in overtime, Burrow completed a 31-yard pass to Higgins to the Denver 3, and then went back to the lanky receiver for the final play in Cincinnati’s fourth consecutive victory. “I don’t know that anybody can stand on the field and watch Joe Burrow and say he’s not the best player in the world,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. On the play before Burrow’s TD, Chase Brown hurt his right ankle on an awkward slide while going down in an effort to help the Bengals run out the remaining time.
