Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, continued his exceptional season by throwing a remarkable touchdown pass to Tee Higgins while falling to the ground during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The two-yard touchdown came after the Bengals' defense forced a goal-line fumble by D'Onta Foreman, leading to a 99-yard drive. Burrow's acrobatic play drew comparisons to Patrick Mahomes and put Cincinnati ahead 7-0 with 7:14 remaining in the first quarter. He later connected with rookie wide receiver Andrei Iosivas for another touchdown, extending the Bengals' lead to 14-0 with 7:32 left in the second quarter. Burrow, who has thrown 21 touchdown passes in his last six games, finished the first half completing 16 of 21 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns, with no turnovers.
