Holy crap! What a game! I mean, of course it wasn’t all great, mostly on defense, and that first quarter. But QB Baker Mayfield had the pitchforks after him in the first quarter, only to light it up the rest of the contest. Let’s get to the recap of the game.
1st Quarter
Cincinnati got the ball to begin the game, and while Cleveland’s defense was strong on first and second down, they allowed QB Joe Burrow to complete first-down passes on all three of his third-down attempts. The last third down completion set up 1st-and-goal from the 2 yard line, but CB Denzel Ward jumped up to deflect his pass to the end zone and LB B.
