Cincinnati Bengals crushed the Miami Dolphins at home on Thursday night in a fairly one-sided game as the final score read 27-15. The loss also put an end to the Dolphins’ unbeaten start to the 2022 NFL season. This was the second successive win for the Bengals after losing their opening two games.

One of the major storylines after the match was the devastating head injury that Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered at the hands of defensive tackle Josh Tupou. Tagovailoa was stretchered off after the incident.

The wide receiver had one of his best-ever games as he received a touchdown pass from Burrow. This was his second TD of the season and he ended the game with 7 receptions for 124 yards.

2) Joe Mixon (Bengals)

Running back Joe Mixon scored the first touchdown of the game as well of his season after a run from just inches near the Dolphins’ endzone in the first quarter. He ended the game with 24 carries for 61 yards. Prior to the game, he had rushed for a combined 163 yards in three games this season.
