Man oh man, did the Cincinnati Bengals need this game.
At times, it appeared another blown lead was going to occur late in the game, but the Bengals held on to a - victory over the visiting Tennessee Titans.
At 2-5-1, the Bengals go into the bye week with a little momentum on their side. Instead of potential firings on the coaching staff, Zac Taylor’s assistants should get the remainder of the season to prove themselves going into 2021.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Bengals pulling out their second win of the season:
Tee Higgins creates a miracle along the sideline

Tee Higgins may be the most underrated rookie this year BAH GAWD pic.twitter.com/55Fz0UXL8y
— Stevie Quarantine (@BigSomms) November 1, 2020
Burrow to Higgins magic! Exactly why both were drafted.
— Goodberry (@JoeGoodberry) November 1, 2020
Tee Higgins is much better that I anticipated
— ahaha (@Andre_BrownJr) November 1, 2020
Tee Higgins already better than AJ green
— Johnnyyy (@ThereJohnnyGo) November 1, 2020
Joe Burrow + Tee Higgins were the best possible draft picks for Cincinnati

Jessie Bates III gets his second interception in the end zone

Extend Jessie Bates III now
— Nicole Zembrodt (@NicoleZembrodt) November 1, 2020
Jessie Bates playing like the best safety in the NFL. Again.

Best center fielder in Cincinnati since Eric Davis! Who Dey

Giovani Bernard extends the lead on the ground
Bengals RB Giovani Bernard goes up the middle for a 12-yard TD run.

Happy: Bengals fans.
Also happy and not livid: Giovani Bernard's fantasy owners.
Bernard seems to be a better fit than Mixon with what they want to do. Bernards pass protection is so undervalued.

A legitimately psychotic Quarterback but I love him

Joe Burrow just had the greatest six-yard scramble I've ever seen.

This Bengals defense

Quinton Spain impresses off of the bench
Pretty evident Quinton Spain is an upgrade
— Blake Jewell (@BlakeJewellNFL) November 1, 2020
Are y’all seeing the difference Quinton Spain is making?
— Malik Wright (@Wrightreportt) November 1, 2020
Former #Titans OL Quinton Spain has been great today. Former DL Amani Bledsoe just broke up a Henry screen pass.
— Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) November 1, 2020
Quinton Spain Is the best O Lineman on the field through the first half Of the Titans and bengals game.
— Mackel Reagan (@mackelreagan) November 1, 2020
How about Quinton Spain crashing down on the Gio TD run. Great block

Burrow, Boyd, and Bernard close it out
This play just has no words https://t.co/d03QIV0Pts

How did Tyler Boyd catch that?!

GOD. THIS IS MAGIC.

Running out of words to describe Burrow.

I’m so hype rn I wish I could jump up and down!
— Dj Reader (@Djread98) November 1, 2020
We are all Gio Bernard!
— Goodberry (@JoeGoodberry) November 1, 2020
This is the best feeling I’ve had as a Bengals fan since 2015
— (@stripe_city) November 1, 2020
So close for Vonn Bell
Vonn bell keeps getting screwed
— Johnny (@orangejohnny22) November 1, 2020
Poor Vonn Bell... almost had a forced fumble and 2 interceptions in this game and he got NOTHING
— Brandon Heath (@chiefheath14) November 1, 2020
I feel for Vonn Bell right there.
— Cameron Demler (@CJD22K) November 1, 2020
Bell makes a really nice play that probably won't count huh
— Jake (@Jake_NFL) November 1, 2020
Nope, from that angle they showed it wasn’t offsides!! Vonn Bell had 2 picks, they should have challenged that first pick!!
— Ryan Vulgamore (@VulgamoreRyan) November 1, 2020
How crushed is Vonn Bell that he almost but not quite gets two picks on back-to-back plays
— Nick Manchester (@NickManchester9) November 1, 2020
Sigh of relief with win No. 2 in the books
Let’s goo!! Bengals W

There might not be enough game balls to go around today. What an all around effort.

Cincinnati snaps a 3-game losing streak. For the first time under Zac Taylor, the Bengals have beaten a team with a winning record.

— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) November 1, 2020
This is a GOOD win. The first one in the Zac Taylor era.
— Goodberry (@JoeGoodberry) November 1, 2020
And Auden Tate's athleticism rewards the Bengals' aggressiveness. Smart by Taylor to call that play.
— Andre Perrotta (@andreperrotta13) November 1, 2020
Game over. Who Dey!
