A pass play involving Andy Dalton was one of the biggest highlights of the first half in Cincinnati today, but it went played out a little differently than most people probably expected.

After tossing the ball to Mohamed Sanu, the Bengals quarterback climbed the ladder to snag a high pass from the receiver at the 18-yard line despite Tennessee cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson bearing down on him. Then he outraced a couple of Titans inside the 5-yard line and dove into the end zone for the first touchdown of the afternoon.

Per the Bengals, it was not only Dalton's first NFL TD reception but the first for a quarterback in team history. It helped Cincinnati build a 19-0 first-half lead in a game they ultimately won 33-7 to improve to 3-0.
