Cincinnati outscored Minnesota 21-7 in the 4th quarter to force OT.

Tee Higgins made a savvy goal-line move to score TD, and Cincinnati Bengals won against Minnesota Vikings 27-24 after overtime at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, OH, and keeps its playoff chances alive after the crucial triumph today even with their QB1 out for the campaign.

Higgins caught a 21-yard pass from Jake Browning in the final seconds of the regular time and pulled off an acrobatic move to stretch the ball over the goal line and even the match at 24.

In the OT, a 44-yard catch by Tyler Boyd and a 4-yard run from Joe Mixon led the team to a fantastic position for a field goal, which McPherson converted to win the match.

Cincinnati (8-6) had taken over at their 41-yard line after stopping Minnesota (7-7) on 4th-and-short.

Minnesota will welcome Detroit next Sunday, while Cincinnati will travel to Pittsburgh to play against the Steelers next Saturday.
