Joe Burrow accounted for six touchdowns as the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Tennessee Titans 43-36 in overtime on November 1. His overtime touchdown put Cincinnati ahead for good, and Tennessee could not move the ball on its ensuing possession.

Burrow threw five touchdown passes and added a rushing score. He connected on 38 of his 48 attempts, producing 462 passing yards, while throwing three interceptions and taking three sacks. On the ground, he gained 10 yards across three carries.

The Titans opened with a 13-0 advantage in Cincinnati and pushed the contest beyond regulation. Quarterback Cam Ward finished with 304 yards through the air, the highest passing total of his career, but Tennessee was unable to answer Burrow's score in overtime.

Tennessee played days after sending defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Bears in exchange for two first-round picks. The defeat left the Titans at 1-7, while the Bengals moved to 5-2.
