Facing a depleted Baltimore Ravens secondary on Sunday, Joe Burrow and his cast of Cincinnati Bengals weapons ran up the score in the first half.
By halftime, the Bengals had a 31-14 lead courtesy of three touchdown passes from Burrow. He had a stellar 18-of-21 line for 299 yards and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.
The tally for others at the break? Tee Higgins led all receivers with 129 yards and a score on seven catches. Tyler Boyd’s one catch went for a 68-yard score. And Ja’Marr Chase had three grabs for 52 yards.
Speaking of Higgins, he had several wicked plays, though none topped him Moss’ing multiple Ravens defenders near the end of the first half:
THAT'S A CATCH. @teehiggins5 has 128 receiving yards in the first half.

That came right after a Ravens score and with the Ravens about to get the ball back after halftime, by the way. With a weapon like Higgins, why run out the clock, though?
Speaking of weapons, it’s worth seeing Boyd’s Jerome Simpson-styled flip into the endzone on his big score:
BURROW TO BOYD FOR A 68-YARD TD. THAT'S BIG LEVELS.
