Sweat, who stands 6-foot-4 and 366 pounds, was met by Bengals offensive lineman Alex Cappa and hit him with a vicious stiff arm. Sweat returned the fumble 30 yards and put Tennessee on their own 41-yard line.
Unfortunately, Titans quarterback Will Levis turned the ball over with a fumble of his own on the team’s next possession. It led to a touchdown pass from Burrow to defensive end Sam Hubbard to tie the game at 14 apiece with 5:13 left in the first half.
