Burrow converted by finding Tee Higgins for a 23-yard gain. It's a play that may not have made the highlight shows, but it was important to set up the play that did make the highlights. Tee Higgins came up clutch again on the Bengals' first drive of the fourth quarter. Facing a 3rd&5 from the Bengals' 33-yard line, Burrow threw a masterful back-shoulder throw to Higgins for a 23-yard gain to the Texans' 44-yard line.

Higgins' two 23-yard third-down conversions set up or extended scoring drives.

Higgins delivered two crucial third-down conversions that set up or extended scoring drives: a 23-yard gain on 3rd&4 from the Bengals' 45-yard line that preceded Chase's TD catch, and a 23-yard back-shoulder throw on 3rd&5 from the Bengals' 33-yard line in the fourth quarter that moved the ball to the Texans' 44-yard line and led to a field goal. The source notes these were 'under-the-radar plays' that 'may not have made the highlight shows, but it was important,' highlighting Higgins' role in drive sustainability and field position management.
