Cincinnati Bengals vs. Minnesota Vikings Game Highlights | NFL 2025 Season Week 3

NOW HE’S WEARING IT.
FOR REAL. IN THE FIRST PLAY IS A HANDOFF
TO MASON, WHO’S GOT SOME ROOM. THEY DO HAVE A MARKER OUT AS HE
WAS ABLE TO FALL FORWARD OR >> Jim: ON FIRST DOWN, WENTZ.
FIRST ROW IS ON TARGET. RIGHT BACK TO JEFFERSON AND
ANOTHER FIRST DOWN FOR MINN MINNESOTA!
PICKS UP 16. KELLY OUT WITH A CONCUSSION AND
JUSTIN SKULE, WHO HAD BEEN STARTING AT TACKLE — ACTIVE
HERE IS WENTZ, HE’S GOT HIS MAN! IT’S ALL OVER FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
CARSON WENTZ COMES BACK TO THE HOME AREA TO HIS BOYHOOD TEAM
AND DRIVES THEM RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD FOR AN OPENING TOUCHDOWN!
>> Tony: YOU WILL FIND RIGHT FIELD FOR AN OPENING TOUCHDOWN!
>> Tony: YOU WILL FIND RIGHT HERE IT’S QUICK GAME.
I GOT IN THE FLAT AND STICK AND THIS IS WHERE VETERANS LOOK
OUTSIDE AND YOU FIND HOPKINSON, OLIVER FIND THE OPENING AND
ORDER DRIVE COMING OUT OF THE FIGURING THAT OUT BUT RIGHT NOW
IS ALREADY MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER THERE.
GOT DESTROYED ON THAT SIDE FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS.
>> Jim: 3RD & 9. WENTZ, PUMP FAKE, RIGHT INTO
ANOTHER BENGALS TO SACK. BEST-CASE SCENARIO.
>> Tony: IF ANYBODY WILL GET BACK EARLY, IT’S HIM.
>> Jim: BROWNING HANDS IT OFF TO CHASE.
THE BLOCKER ON TEE HIGGINS. HE IS SENSATIONAL.
SO SNAKES FOR THE FIRST, GOT A NEW SET OF DOWNS, AND T LOFTS
IT, COMPLETE AND ANOTHER FIRST DOWN FOR THE BENGALS,
PICKED UP A COUPLE. LIKE RUNNING IT, ESPECIALLY
EARLY IN THE GAME ON FIRST DOWN. PLAY-ACTION PASS, SNEAK IN,
DRAWS ON SECOND DOWN. >> Jim: 2ND & 9.
BROWNING SCANNING, THROWING. PICKED OFF!
INTERCEPTED BY ISAIAH RODGERS! AND HE’S RACING DOWN THE
SIDELINE AND HE WILL NOT BE CAUGHT!
GOING THE DISTANCE! IT LOOKS LIKE 87 YARDS ON THE
RETURN. >> Tony: DOES A GOOD JOB
HANGING AROUND, BUT HARRISON SMITH IS GOING TO TIP THAT BALL
AND THAT’S WHY HAVING HIM BACK IS SO HUGE, AND THIS PAST
DEFENSE IS EXCEPTIONAL, THEY HAS GOTTEN A FIRST DOWN MORE
THAN THIRD IN SIX AGAINST THIS VIKINGS DEFENSE.
>> Jim: THE LAST ATTEMPTS, THE SITUATION HAS BEEN STOPPED BY
THE VIKINGS DEFENSE. BROWNING ABLE TO GET AWAY ONCE,
BUT NOT TWICE! NFL AFTER BEING ON THE PRACTICE
SQUAD THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. HERE IS WENTZ, PUMP FAKE,
FIRING. GOOD PASS, THAT’S HOCKENSON.
>> Tony: THAT’S A GREAT JOB BY YOU’RE LOOKING FOR.
>> Jim: GOT A 2ND & 10. MASON BACK IN THEIR.
GETS HAMMERED DOWN BY JORDAN USE YOUR SKILL SET,
COMMUNICATION WAS POOR. BUT THAT WILL IMPROVE.
>> Jim: THIRD AND SIX. DOWN THE MIDDLE, ALMOST CAUGHT
AND ALMOST PICKED! >> Jim: THEY BRING OUT
REICHERT. THE KICK IS GOOD FROM 35.
IT WAS CLOSE. HERE, TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHO IT
IS. QUICK PLAY, LET IT GO.
>> Jim: THEY RUSH FOR. FIRST TARGET GOES TO TEE
HIGGINS. GETS KNOCKED DOWN AND HE GOT
FLAGGED FOR THAT HIT. UNDERNEATH.
AND JUST FIRES IT IN THERE. >> PERSONAL FOUL, ILLEGAL USE OF
THE HELMET BY THE DEFENSE, 14 YARDS ADDED TO THE END OF THE
PLAY. >> Jim: THIS WILL TAKE
CINCINNATI DOWN TO THE MINNESOTA >> Jim: THIS WILL TAKE
CINCINNATI DOWN TO THE MINNESOTA 40.
>> Tony: DIDN’T GET THE EARLIER ONE.
>> Jim: THAT’S RIGHT IN THE SCHEME AS FAR AS A DOUBLE TOP
PLAYERS. SAW IT A LOT WITH THOMAS LAST
WEEK. >> Jim: OVER TO CHASE BROWN.
SPLITS THE DEFENDERS AND HE FLIES AHEAD FOR THE FIRST DOWN.
>> Tony: THIS IS EXACTLY THE STYLE OF GAME, I THINK THERE
FINALLY FIGURING OUT THAT’S A >> Tony: “ROCKY.”
>> Jim: YEAH. CINCINNATI DOWN 17, 3RD & 8.
BIG BLITZ, PICKED UP, LAUNCHED, HIGGINS KNOCKED DOWN!
WHAT A FINE PLAY BY RODGERS, WHO HAD THE RETURN FOR THE
TOUCHDOWN. HE’S GOT ANOTHER GEM OF A PLAY
RIGHT HERE. >> Tony: THIS IS HIS FIRST
TIME BEING A FULL-TIME STARTER, ATTEMPT.
McPHERSON JUST 2 FOR 2, ONLY WITH TWO ATTEMPTS.
22 FIELD GOAL TRIES LAST YEAR BEFORE GETTING HURT IN DECEMBER.
THERE’S THE KICK. AND IT’S A BEAUTY.
FIRST POINTS DELIVERED OFF THE FOOT OF EVAN McPHERSON.
THEY GOT SOMETHING OUT OF IT. TOUGH SCHEDULE THOUGH AFTER
THAT. YOU HAVE TO GET THESE.
>> Jim: A PRETTY DEMANDING STRETCH WHEN THEY GET BACK.
WENTZ DROPPED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND IT’S KRIS JENKINS.
>> Tony: WE’VE GOT A TT TWIST, BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.
PICK-6 TO THE HOUSE. OTHER THAN THAT IT’S THE
ONE-SCORE GAME. >> Jim: COULD SUDDENLY CHANGE
EVERYTHING ON THE PAST DOWN THE ELECTRIC, BRENT.
>> Jim: 1ST & 10, 2 MINUTES TO GO.
BENGALS CAN MAKE THINGS INTERESTING.
PLUS — LOST THE FOOTBALL! IT’S RODGERS AGAIN OFF AND
RUNNING! OH, MY GOODNESS!
HE RUNS IT BACK FOR A SECOND TOUCHDOWN TODAY!
>> Tony: THIS IS ONE OF THE ISAIAH RODGERS.
>> Tony: WE THOUGHT TRAVIS HUNTER WAS A TWO-WAY PLAYER
COMING INTO THE YEAR, I THINK WE NEED SOMEBODY ELSE TO GET ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL BECAUSE WHEN THE BALL IS IN HIS HANDS
YOU ARE NOT CATCHING HIM. AND I TELL YOU, THAT WAS AN
EXCEPTIONAL PLAY. EVER.
>> Tony: GIVES MIC FLOORS CREDI. TEAMS ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
PLAY THE VIKINGS WHEN THIS OFFENSE STARTS GETTING IT GOING.
>> Jim: 2ND & 5. ANOTHER PENALTY FLAG ON THE
FIELD. CHASE — LOST THE FOOTBALL.
RECOVERED BY MINNESOTA! OH, MY GOODNESS, JUST ERROR
AFTER ERROR — >> Tony: GUESS WHO HIT IT OUT,
JIM? >> Jim: WAS IT RODGERS?
>> Tony: IT WAS RODGERS. WE ARE STILL IN THE
SECOND QUARTER. VIKINGS COMPLETE IT!
IT’S JEFFERSON BREAKING THROUGH. LOOK AT JUSTIN JEFFERSON!
WE SAW HOW FIRED UP HE WAS ON >> Jim: HIS FOURTH CATCH FOR
61. CLOCK RUNNING WITH 40 SECONDS.
WENTZ COMPLETES IT. DOWN TO THE 5.
AND STOP THE CLOCK AT 36. MINNESOTA TERRITORY, THINKING
THIS COULD BE A SEVEN-POINT GAME AT THE HALF.
>> Tony: THEY WERE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE WITH KIND OF
TOUGH START. >> Jim: MASON IS IN FOR
ANOTHER MINNESOTA TOUCHDOWN! >> Jim: MASON IS IN FOR
ANOTHER MINNESOTA TOUCHDOWN! >> Tony: SIMPLE HANDOFF, MASON
DOES THE REST, BEEN PLAYING GREAT THIS YEAR BUT SEE THAT
LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT, THE SIZE, THAT WAS THE MATCHUP BROWNING
HAD FUMBLE! OH, MY GOODNESS!
WHERE’S RODGERS! RECOVERED BY MINNESOTA!
JONATHAN ALLEN HAS THE RECOVERY. SIX SECONDS.
>> Tony: BETTER DEFENSE RIGHT THERE.
THIS HAS TO BE A THROW AWAY I’M CARSON WENTZ, THROW IT AWAY
RIGHT NOW. >> Jim: DOWN THE SIDELINE AND
OVER THE HEAD OF JEFFERSON. NOW YOU’RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
TRY THE FIELD GOAL. 62 YARDS IT IS.
WILL REICHARD, SECOND YEAR OUT OF THE CRIMSON TIDE AND THIS KID
HAS GOT PLENTY OF DISTANCE. PLENTY OF DISTANCE, AND IT’S
GOOD! WITH MILES TO SPARE!
INCREDIBLE! UNDERFOOT.
>> Tony: I THINK THINGS ARE THEY WON BUT THE OFFENSE DIDN’T
LOOK GREAT IN THOSE GAMES EI EITHER.
>> Jim: 145 YARDS OF OFFENSE WEEK 1 IN THE WIN AGAINST
CLEVELAND, AS BROWNING ON THIRD DOWN SLIPS THROUGH A SACK.
[WHISTLE BLOWING] IT IS JUST BACK ON THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE SO IT WILL GO IN THE BOOKS AS A SACK.
>> Tony: HOW GOOD IS THIS PASS HERE IS WENTZ HANDING IT OFF TO
MASON WHO HAD A TOUCHDOWN IN THE FIRST HALF.
HE’S GOT A NICE RUN HERE, PEELING OFF, CARRY OF ABOUT
16 YARDS. WHAT HE DID LAST YEAR FOR
SAN FRANCISCO. >> Tony: IT’S CRAZY.
NO ONE HAD HEARD OF THEM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, KEVIN O’CONNELL, HE
KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING. >> Jim: THERE IS ANOTHER
CARRY. ANOTHER GOOD ONE FOR ANOTHER 8.
>> Tony: WE GOT TO GIVE KWESI >> Jim: BIG TIME.
GOOD ONE-HANDED CATCH ON THE SNAP BY WENTZ.
GOOD THROW TOO. FIRST DOWN, NAILOR.
>> Tony: WOW. WINS.
IT REALLY WAS THE JIM NANTZ THING.
>> Jim: THE JIM NANTZ FACTOR. >> Tony: CHANGING TODAY.
>> Jim: ALL I HEARD ABOUT THIS WEEKEND WAS THE ROMO-WOLFSON
JINX. THAT IS JEFFERSON FOR ABOUT 15.
>> Tony: I CAN TELL YOU, I >> Jim: 2ND DOWN & 9.
AS WENTZ ‘A PASS GOES RIGHT BACK TO HOCKENSON FOR A FIRST DOWN
CATCH, TRIPPED UP. HIS GAME AND THE VIKINGS ARE
CLOSING IN ON A 40. BACK TO HOCKENSON.
HIS FOURTH CATCH, GOES FOR ANOTHER TEN.
I THINK HE WAS ABLE TO LEAP PAST THE FIRST DOWN YARDAGE.
YES, HE DID. 1ST & GOAL.
A DRIVE THAT HAS TAKEN OVER HE LINES UP ON THE LEFT SIDE.
RIGHT OFF OF HIM. 1ST & GOAL, GIVE, MASON IN FOR A
SECOND TOUCHDOWN! SECOND TOUCHDOWN!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Tony: JUST A GREAT COMBO
BLOCKING RIGHT HERE ON THE INTERIOR.
CINCINNATI LATE TO GET IN THERE. AND WE SEE THIS FROM TIME TO
TIME WHEN YOU ARE DOWN. 30 PLUS POINTS.
>> Jim: FIRST CAREER GAME WITH NOT COME OFF THE FIELD AGAIN.
THAT IS A FIRST DOWN CATCH, AND DOUBLE-CLICKING IT IS DREW
SAMPLE. HE MOVES INTO MINNESOTA
TERRITORY. SOMETHING TO BUILD OFF OF.
>> Tony: THEY NEED TO. TRACY TALKED TO COACH TAYLOR AND
HE SAID IT HALF, WE NEED TO HAVE IT.
>> Jim: INTERCEPTED! INTERCEPTED BY METELLUS.
A FIFTH GIVEAWAY BY THE BENGALS COME CLOSE TO BEING 2-0 IN HIS
FIRST SIX YEARS. HERE IS A GIVE.
MASON RACKING UP NUMBERS IN THE SECOND HALF, AND RUNNING INTO
THE SECONDARY! [WHISTLE BLOWING]
HE IS MOVING IN ON 100. HE MIGHT’VE GOTTEN IT RIGHT
THERE. AT WILL.
>> Jim: MASON NEAR THE CENTURY MARK.
BAKE TO HIM HERE, AND WENTZ, OPEN TARGET.
NAILOR DOWN TO THE 21. LINEBACKERS GET OUT OF THERE,
NAILOR HAS CREATED SEPARATION. HE DOES IT AGAIN THERE.
HE IS GOING TO GET MORE AND MORE CATCHES AS THE SEASON GOES ON.
>> Jim: MASON JUST WENT OVER 100 AND HE ADDS ANOTHER 13
COMING OUT FOR 115 TOTAL. RIGHT.
THE MORE YOU PLAY THERE, EVERYTHING IS TAILORED FOR THE
FIRST TEAM TO WIN, AND RIGHT HERE, YOU GOT TO THROW IT LIKE
THAT! >> Jim: HE’S GOT A TOUCHDOWN
PASS TO HOCKENSON! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Tony: WHAT A ROUTE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Tony: WHAT A ROUTE. WATCH THIS, NOW COME BACK
INSIDE, USING THEIR LEVERAGE AGAINST YOU.
HOCKENSON JUST HAD TO DO MULTIPLE THINGS, HASN’T HAD
ENOUGH ROUTES, YOU ARE SEEING IS NOW ONE LAST PLAY IN THIS
QUARTER. RUNNING PLAY IT IS.
FIRST CAREER CARRY FOR TAHJ BROOKS.
SIXTH ROUND PICK OUT OF TEXAS TECH.
ALL RIGHT. U.S. BANK STADIUM.
>> Tony: ONE OF THE WORST THINGS FOR CINCINNATI COMING IN
AFTER ATLANTA RAN ON MINNESOTA, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO ALLOW
THAT TO HAPPEN TODAY. >> Jim: HERE’S A BROWNING, GOT
HIT, SMASHED OUT OF THE AIR BY CHASE.
>> Tony: WOW. COME IN.
>> Jim: 2ND & 9. SET UP A LITTLE TIGHT END
SCREEN. GOT SOME ROOM.
FALLS OUT AGAIN. [WHISTLE BLOWING]
RECOVERED BY THE BENGALS. HIS ARMS ARE SHORT, A LITTLE
UNDERSIZED, HE IS OUTSTANDING. GETS OFF BLOCKS AS WELL AS
ANYONE. I’M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HIM.
>> Jim: THAT IS A FIRST DOWN ON THE SNEAK BY BROWNING, IT WAS
A SNEAK BY BROWNING LAST WEEK TO THE FOUR.
2ND & GOAL. BROWNING LOOKING FOR OPTIONS,
FINDS ONE HERE. FLAG DOWN.
IT IS SAMPLE. GOT ACROSS.
WE’LL CHECK THE FLAG. ON THE FAR SIDE AT THE 3-YARD
LINE. LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE ON
MINNESOTA. >> Referee: ILLEGAL USE OF
HANDS ON THE FACE, DEFENSE NUMBER 8.
THE PENALTY IS DECLINED. RESULTS OF THE PLAY IS A
TOUCHDOWN. TOUCHDOWN.
49 MINUTES INTO THE GAME. >> Tony: YOU ARE SAYING THEY
ARE BACK IN IT? >> Jim: I AM SAYING THAT THEY
JUST MAY RUN OUT OF TIME. >> Tony: NORMALLY, THERE IS A
LOT OF TIMES LEFT WITH 11:12 TO GO.
THAT IS GOOD, THOUGH. HIM.
I THINK HE’S GOT AN UPSIDE. >> Jim: HAND OFF ON THE FIRST
PLAY. THE BALL CAME OUT!
[WHISTLE BLOWING] THEY SAY IT STAYS WITH THE
VIKINGS. BY THE WAY, DESMOND RIDDER IS
THERE A THIRD QUARTERBACK, JUST THESE PLAYOFF TEAMS.
3RD & 3. BROWNING GETTING CHASED.
OH, WHAT A SACK. WHAT SPEED AND BURST BY AUSTIN
KEY IS, THE ROOKIE FROM AUBURN. >> Tony: YOU HAD A BUNCH OF
GUYS. >> Jim: BROSMER’S PASS’ COUGH.
FIRST NFL COMPLETION. LET’S GIVE IT TO HIM.
IT GOES TO TAI FELTON. >> Tony: THIS IS GOOD REPS FOR
THE YOUNG MAN. THE SECOND DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN,
CREATING THE TURNOVER, I MEAN, I THINK HE IS GOING TO WIN
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK AND IF NOT, THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO
WHO IS VOTING ON THAT. >> Jim: HERE IS THE HANDOFF
AGAIN TO BROOKS. KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE ON THE
RECRUITING TRAILS, OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, AND HE GOES DOWN,
GETS SACKED, AS THIS DEFENSE THANK YOU, ADAM.
HE BRINGS UP A POINT, HALF THE COUNTRY IN THE SURVIVOR POOL GOT
ELIMINATED RIGHT THERE. >> Tony: YOU ARE RIGHT.
>> Jim: HERE IS AKERS WITH THE A GOOD DAY FOR MINNESOTA.
>> Jim: BROSMER THROWS, AND HE CONNECTS, ZAVIER SCOTT.
HERE HE GOES. ARE THEY GOING TO SCORE AGAIN?
ALMOST, ALMOST. EFFORT BY SCOTT THERE.
>> Jim: WELCOME OF THE DAY BEGAN WITH ALL THE ATTRIBUTES TO
THE 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, AND YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE, AND YOU ARE
LOOKING AT CARSON WENTZ WITH A WIN FOR THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS.
