This one hurt. The Cincinnati Bengals seemed to be in position to win the game in the fourth quarter until Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams finally figured out how to move the ball late in the game. Despite the loss, the team (other than the o-line) played outstanding overall.
Winners
Joe Mixon - The Bengals running back threw a touchdown pass, his first ever pass attempt, in the second quarter. He floated a perfect ball to Tee Higgins for a play that earned a shocking reaction from Joe Burrow’s mom. Mixon also helped chew up clock late in the game on his way to 72 yards on 15 carries because the Rams stormed back.
