As the second half progressed, Joe Mixon played a crucial role in solidifying the Bengals' lead. He scored a touchdown, pushing the score to 28-14 in their favor.

Meanwhile, in another game, the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers battled it out in a close contest. Desmond Ridder connected with Kyle Pitts for a game-tying touchdown, only for the Buccaneers to take the lead with a safety.

In a thrilling encounter between the San Francisco 49ers and an opponent yet to be named, Christian McCaffrey kick-started the scoring with an explosive 72-yard rush, setting up his team's first touchdown.

Overall, it was a thrilling day of football, with several teams showcasing their offensive prowess and making key plays to secure victory. The Jets' strong second-half performance sealed the deal against the Texans, asserting their dominance on the field.
