The Cincinnati Bengals have wrestled the lead right back from the Los Angeles Rams early in the 2nd half of Super Bowl LVI.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow connected with wide receiver Tee Higgins on a 75 yard touchdown pass, and for the Bengals, they were fortunate to not have the play called back. Prior to his catch, Higgins got away with blatant offensive pass interference when he clearly grabbed the facemark of Jalen Ramsey:
