The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Tennessee Titans 43-36 in a wild Week 8 overtime contest on November 1, 2026, creating the 1,098th unique final score in NFL history — a phenomenon known as a scorigami. It marked the third scorigami of the 2026 season and the first since Week 1.
Quarterback Joe Burrow engineered the historic finish despite throwing three interceptions. He finished with 462 passing yards, five touchdown passes, and a nine-yard rushing touchdown in overtime, becoming only the second player in NFL history to record at least 450 passing yards, five touchdown passes, and a rushing touchdown in a single game. Wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase each surpassed 140 receiving yards.
The unusual scoring sequence began with a Bengals safety in the third quarter that made it 23-21. The teams then traded touchdowns and a failed two-point conversion before Burrow tied the game at 36 with an 18-yard pass to Higgins with 1:17 remaining. In overtime, Burrow drove Cincinnati 81 yards and scored the winning touchdown on a nine-yard run.
This was the Bengals' first scorigami since a 22-18 win over the Patriots in 2022, and the Titans' first since a 45-26 victory over the Lions in 2020. With only four scorigamis recorded in the entire 2025 season, the 2026 campaign has already produced three.
