Tyler Boyd and B.J. Hill were involved in the two biggest plays of overtime during Saturday's 27-24 win over the Vikings and they dove into the moments after the crucial win.

Hill and the defense had to hand Minnesota their first denial on a down inside of one yard all season to get the ball back for Cincinnati's offense.

"They didn't move the ball at all," Hill said about the two short-yardage plays. "Me, and Zach (Carter), whoever was in, we just got great knockback on the guard and center and they didn't move the ball at all."

That allowed Boyd and the Bengals offense to capitalize with his best play of the season on a 44-yard catch and run that Jake Browning had to keep alive with a scramble.

It was TB's second-longest catch of the season and set up the game-winning field goal.

"I was the throw anyway," Boyd said about being the first read. "I was open. If you go back and watch the play, but he got pressured and I just tried to stay with him and just stay in that open void where I knew he could find me and I can at least make the catch and get the first down. The rest I was just trying to be a guy and go make a play too close."

Browning gave his playmakers a chance all day, and they came through multiple times.
