But overtime could've been avoided if the Broncos would've gone for a two-point conversion instead of an extra point to end regulation. The Broncos scored a touchdown with eight seconds remaining in regulation thanks to a 25-yard touchdown pass thrown by Bo Nix to Marvin Mims Jr.

The Bengals did play the overtime period without starting running back Chase Brown, who suffered an ankle sprain during the fourth quarter. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow broke his own franchise single-season record for passing yardage with his 31-yard toss to Tee Higgins to set up a game-winning touchdown pass to Higgins.
