Then the Bengals' big break came for Zac Taylor's team.
Amani Oruwariye thought it wise to try and recover the bounced ball as it went downfield, but he couldn't get a clean handle on the ball.
The ball touched Oruwariye, allowing the Bengals to recover and get the ball back. That's exactly what happened when Maema Nyongmeta fell on the ball at the Cincinnati 43-yard line, giving Joe Burrow and company a chance to take the lead again.

Cooper Rush and the Cowboys had enough time to move downfield for a potentially game-deciding drive. But on fourth-and-7 near midfield, Rush overshot Jake Ferguson and the ball hit the turf, dooming Dallas to a loss.
CeeDee Lamb, who scored his first touchdown of the game and had 93 yards on six catches, was wide open in the middle of the field and was bouncing around. Rush didn't see him, so this is what happened.
Burrow had a great night, hitting 33-of-44 for 369 yards, three touchdowns (the other was a catch-and-run by running back Chase Brown in the first half) and one interception. .
For the Cowboys, Rico Doodle continued his positive trend despite the loss, with the young running back gaining a game-high 131 yards on just 18 carries. After taking over the main role in the backfield, Doodle really took off late in the season.
