The winless Jets stunned the Bengals Sunday at Paycor Stadium when they exploded for 26 points in the second half while racking up 255 yards on the ground in a 39-38 victory.<\/p>\n
Running back Breece Hall, who rushed for 133 yards, took a pitch and rolled right to throw a three-yard touchdown to rookie tight end Mason Taylor, who reached over cornerback DJ Turner II with 1:54 left.<\/p>\n
Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco, who was sacked for the first time all day to set up the winning score, went into the locker room with a right shoulder injury, came back in for the last series, but incompletions on third and fourth down ended it. Flacco finished 21 of 34 for 223 yards and a passer rating of 100.5.<\/p>\n
Flacco staked the Bengals to a 24-13 halftime lead, following up his 108.6 passer rating against the Steelers with a 135 chiseled out of 15 of 20 passing for 178 yards and touchdown passes to wide receiver Tee Higgins and running back Chase Brown.<\/p>\n
The Bengals’ first touchdown came off a fourth-down turnover when Jets head coach Aaron Glenn wasted no time with a 0-7 gamble. Six-and-a-half minutes into the game, he went for it on fourth-and-one from his own 37, and rookie linebacker Barrett Carter blew it up with penetration to drop running back Breece Hall for a two-yard loss.<\/p>\n
Five plays later, Flacco went behind center Ted Karras and tight end Drew Sample pushed him into the end zone to put the Bengals up, 10-0, with 5:35 left in the first quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The winless Jets stunned the Bengals Sunday at Paycor Stadium when they exploded for 26 points in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[8717,12212,2497,8718,9,11,8721,10],"class_list":["post-17572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-centerpiece","tag-game-recap","tag-latest-news","tag-latest-stories","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-jets-at-cincinnati-bengals-2025-reg-8","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
