The best way to celebrate National Tight Ends Day is to feed the football to the player at that position.
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals got the message for their AFC North battle with the Baltimore Ravens.
The recipient was C.J. Uzomah, who grabbed a pair of touchdown passes in the first three quarters.
The first was a 55-yarder in the second quarter to give the Bengals a 10-3 lead after the PAT.
CJ UZOMAH. 55-YARD TD.
The biggest TE play of #NationalTightEndsDay so far! #RuleTheJungle @cj_uzomah

Joe Burrow & C.J. Uzomah (55-yard TD)
The pass was Burrow's 5th deep TD of the season, and his first to a player not-named Ja'Marr Chase.
Burrow has as many deep completions through six games this season (9) as he did over 10 games in 2020.#CINvsBAL | #RuleTheJungle pic.twitter.com/sDilArwJcj
