Hayden Hurst impresses in his Bengals debut

Although there were some struggles overall with the offense in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was one bright spot in a position that had several questions entering the regular season.

That was Hayden Hurst, who made his Cincinnati Bengals debut.

After coming over this offseason from the Atlanta Falcons, the main question became could Hurst replace the production from his tight end predecessor in C.J. Uzomah?

After not seeing much action in the first four quarters, Hurst showed he could be a reliable target for Joe Burrow as the game progressed in overtime, totaling three catches for 36 yards in OT.
