A 26-23 overtime win in Cincinnati. The 49ers improve to 7-6.
How it unfolded
The 49ers built a 17-6 halftime lead off Bengals special-teams gaffes. Cincinnati came alive in the fourth quarter: Burrow's pass to Chase for 66 yards setting up a TD, then the 87-yard drive in 81 seconds ending on a 32-yard double-move TD to Chase that tied it at 20-20 with 1:19 left. The 49ers drove for a Gould field goal attempt that went wide right. In OT, the Bengals drove to McPherson's 47-yarder for a 23-20 lead. The 49ers responded with the 75-yard drive ending on the Aiyuk touchdown.
The turning point
The Aiyuk overtime touchdown. With the 49ers down 23-20 and needing a touchdown to win (a field goal would have only tied), Garoppolo found Aiyuk on a 12-yard slant for the game-winner.
By the numbers
Garoppolo 27-of-41 for 296 with the two TDs including the OT winner. Kittle 13 catches for 151 with a TD. Burrow 25-of-34 for 348 with two TDs. Chase the long 32-yard tie-it TD plus the 66-yard set-up.
Personnel watch
Kittle in the kind of full-game stat line that defined his career. Bosa generating the third-down OT sack that pushed Cincinnati to the field goal instead of the touchdown. Aiyuk the winner-catcher.
What it means
7-6 with the wild-card path now real. The Falcons come up at home next, then the Titans on Thursday night.
