Bengals hit flea flicker for 45-yard touchdown vs. Browns

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals pulled a trick play out of the bag to open up a big lead against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

With Cincinnati driving down the field at Paycor Stadium, coach Zac Taylor called for a flea flicker that couldn't have been drawn up any better.

After quarterback Joe Burrow handed the ball off to running back Joe Mixon, Mixon pitched the ball back to wide receiver Trenton Irwin, who was wide open. Irwin caught the ball for a 45-yard touchdown to give the Bengals a 20-3 lead with 7:26 left in the third quarter.
