Ex-Bengal Alexander drops interception, prolonging Bengals' third-quarter scoring drive

Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Mackensie Alexander of the Minnesota Vikings had a would-be interception bounce off of his facemask and into the arms of Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd, prolonging Cincinnati's scoring drive early in the third quarter Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.

"What a catch! Looked like it was gonna be intercepted! Tyler Boyd ended up with it!" FOX play-by-play commentator Chris Myers said.

"Things are going your way, they're just going your way," color analyst Daryl Johnston said. "Right now, Cincinnati is on a roll - they're getting all the breaks."

Boyd's five-yard catch came on 3rd down, and the Bengals picked up the first down on a 4th-and-short on a quarterback sneak by Joe Burrow on the next play.
