Joe Burrow, Bengals fend off Seahawks to get back to .500 on the season

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals may finally be back on the right track.

After a rough start to the season while Burrow has battled a calf injury, the Bengals held on late to beat the Seattle Seahawks 17-13 on Sunday afternoon at Paycor Stadium. That brought the Bengals to 3-3 on the season as they head into their bye week.

Burrow mounted a 13-play, 69 yard drive and found Tyler Boyd for an 8-yard touchdown pass right away to even the score. He then led another seven-play, 73-yard drive with a three-yard pass to Andrei Iosivas to suddenly take a seven-point lead. The Seahawks kicked a field goal before halftime to cut the deficit back to four.

Thankfully, though, Cincinnati’s defense came up big. Mike Hilton intercepted Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith deep in the red zone early in the third.Then, after limiting the Seahawks to a field goal on their next drive, Cam Taylor-Britt picked off Smith again on a deep ball intended for D.K. Metcalf — who seemed lost on his route. Britt ran the ball well back into Seattle territory, which set up the McPherson field goal.
