Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans delivered an unforgettable matchup in Week 8, culminating in a historic 43-36 victory for the Bengals, marking a score that had never occurred in the 107-year history of the NFL.

With less than four minutes remaining, the Titans held a 36-29 lead, seemingly on course to avoid a scorigami. However, Joe Burrow sparked a dramatic comeback by orchestrating an 81-yard drive, culminating in an 18-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins that tied the game with just 1:17 left.

Overtime saw Burrow’s brilliance shine as he led the Bengals on their first possession, completing 4-of-4 passes for 51 yards before scoring on a nine-yard touchdown run, sealing the game and achieving the 1,098th unique final score in NFL history.

Despite throwing three interceptions, Burrow made history as only the second player to record at least 450 passing yards, five touchdown passes, and one rushing touchdown in a single game. He finished with 462 passing yards and five touchdowns, with both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase each surpassing 140 receiving yards.

The Bengals' journey to this unique score included a safety that shifted the momentum in the third quarter, propelling them to a 23-21 lead. They experienced a wild back-and-forth with the Titans, who last enjoyed a scorigami in 2020 against the Lions. For the Bengals, this marked their first such score since 2022 against the Patriots.
