Burrow Throws Five Touchdowns and Runs In the Winner as Bengals Outlast Titans in Overtime

Joe Burrow produced a performance of wild extremes on Sunday, throwing five touchdowns and running in the game-winner in overtime as the Cincinnati Bengals outlasted the visiting Tennessee Titans for their third straight victory. Burrow finished 38 of 48 for 462 yards, but he also threw three interceptions, all of them to Titans safety Amani Hooker, in a game that swung back and forth until the very end.

Tennessee looked to have seized control when the Titans moved ahead 36-29 with 3:46 left in regulation, with Cam Ward throwing for a career-high 304 yards and two touchdowns on the day. Burrow answered, throwing two touchdown passes to Tee Higgins, the second of which tied the game with just 1:17 remaining, before Dexter Lawrence II sacked Ward for a 13-yard loss to knock Tennessee out of field-goal range. Burrow then settled it himself in overtime, running in the winning score.

The win lifted Cincinnati to 5-2 and extended their winning run to three games, while Tennessee fell to 1-7 despite Ward's best passing day as a professional. For Burrow, it was a reminder of his capacity to survive his own mistakes and still deliver when the game is on the line.
