Tanner Hudson caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow on Sunday at 1:00 PM, giving the Bengals another key score as they pushed their lead over the Dolphins to 21-7.
How the drive changed the game
The touchdown came as part of a Bengals offensive drive against Miami in difficult conditions at Hard Rock Stadium, where the temperature was 90 degrees. For Cincinnati, the score added to a lead that had already grown into double digits and helped keep pressure on the Dolphins.
The play also fit into a productive afternoon for the Bengals in Week 3, 2023. While Hudson finished the scoring play, the game also featured Jordan Battle recording two interceptions, a notable defensive performance in its own right. According to Jay Morrison on X, Battle became the first Bengal with multiple interceptions in a game since Logan Wilson in 2023.
Hudson's touchdown was only 2 yards, but it carried clear game impact. It extended Cincinnati's advantage and gave the Bengals another short-yardage finish in a game where every possession mattered.
