Summary
Joe Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdowns, then ran 9 yards for the overtime winner as Cincinnati erased a 36-29 fourth-quarter deficit.
Three straight Bengals touchdown drives closed it out despite four turnovers, including Burrow's three interceptions—one reason the comeback stood out in a 510-yard offensive day.
Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two scores, while Ja’Marr Chase added 11 catches for 141 yards as Cincinnati improved to 5-2.
Tennessee still pushed the game to the brink behind Cam Ward's 340 passing yards and Tony Pollard's 117 rushing yards, but the 1-7 Titans lost again after another fast start.
The rally marked Cincinnati's second straight win after overcoming a 13-point first-half hole, reinforcing the resilience coach Zac Taylor said had been missing in recent seasons.
