CINCINNATI – Former Utah running back Zack Moss capped off a late Bengals drive with a goal-line touchdown as Cincinnati attempted to make a fourth-quarter comeback.
The Bengals went the length of the field in less than two minutes before Joe Burrow handed it off to Moss for the easy walk-in score.

Cincinnati attempted an onside kick but was unable to recover and Moss’ TD ended up serving as nothing more than a boost to his stats.
He finished with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown.
The start to Moss’ career in Cincinnati has not been ideal, to say the least, and it has little to do with the former Ute. Through three weeks, he has 33 carries for 136 yards and two touchdowns. But, Cincinnati has yet to win a game.

In week four, the Bengals will take on the Panthers in North Carolina.
The road game will not be easy. However, Carolina is 1-2 and just benched their former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young.
