The Cincinnati Bengals struck first in their Week 14 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.
Cincinnati’s offense did so via rookie running back Chase Brown’s first NFL touchdown, a short pass from Jake Browning he took 54 yards for the score.
After a slow drive to open the game, the offense exploited the lull with the short look to Brown, who sprinted down the field and made the last defender miss with style.
Brown, a fifth-rounder, has increasingly seen his snap count shoot up since returning from injured reserve a few weeks back, giving the Bengals an impressive one-two punch with starter Joe Mixon:
