The second-year player is developing nicely.
Looking for positives after an ugly primetime game?
In addition to the overall fantastic offensive performance, Bengals fans can revel in the fact that second-year receiver Andrei Iosivas caught his third touchdown in the last two games.
This one came on 4th and goal with Cincinnati down 28-13 in the third quarter. Iosivas used his big frame to box out the defender, jumped, caught the ball, and then fought his way to turn slightly to get the ball across the goal line.
Burrow to Andrei Iosivas makes it a one-possession game!

Iosivas almost had a second touchdown with under a minute remaining, but Washington cornerback Noah Igbinoghene committed pass interference. Two plays later, Zack Moss would run it in for the score.
The Princeton product finished with five receptions for a career-high 52 yards.
It certainly seems like, with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins finally back together, Iosivas will get to catch defenses off guard, especially around the end zone. Hopefully, he can keep it up when the team goes up against Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers next week.
Things are looking good on offense. It was the defense that got destroyed by the Washington Commanders last night. We talk about the game and the road ahead for the Bengals with ESPN’s Ben Baby tonight at 7 PM ET. Tune in below.
