What happened: Cincinnati opened the second half with a 9-play, 66-yard touchdown drive before adding 6-play scoring marches covering 47 and 76 yards. The offense followed with a 5-play, 79-yard touchdown series and a 3-play, 24-yard score.

Why it matters: None of the five touchdown possessions required more than 9 plays, allowing the offense to convert both long fields and short fields while the game remains in progress.

What to watch: Play remains in progress as Cincinnati looks to sustain its second-half efficiency through the fourth quarter.
