The fast starts continue for the Cincinnati Bengals.
This time, it’s Joe Burrow hitting Trenton Irwin with a touchdown strike to take an early lead over the Houston Texans in Week 10.
That connection makes it five games in a row that the Bengals have hit on opening-drive touchdowns, with Cincinnati going on to win the last four as Burrow looks all the way back from his calf injury.
More impressive? Tee Higgins was inactive on the day and Ja’Marr Chase, after entering the game as questionable, was simply a decoy in the slot for this touchdown connection to Irwin.
A look at the play and funny Burrow celebration:
