Breece Hall had never thrown an NFL pass before October 26, 2025. His first — a 4-yard completion to Mason Taylor with 1:54 on the clock — gave the New York Jets a 39-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, their first victory after seven consecutive losses. New York came back from 15 down at the fourth-quarter break, outscoring Cincinnati 23-7 in the final period on 254 rushing yards and 502 total offensive yards.

† Hall’s 4-yard TD strike to Taylor was his first career passing attempt. He is the fourth non-quarterback since 1950 to throw a winning touchdown pass inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime, joining Washington’s Rod Gardner (2003), New York’s Curtis Martin (2000), and Minnesota’s Paul Krause (1977).

Frequently Asked Questions
What were Breece Hall’s stats against the Bengals in Week 8?
Hall carried 18 times for 133 yards and scored twice on the ground. He also completed his only passing attempt — a 4-yard game-winning TD to Mason Taylor with 1:54 remaining — making him the first non-quarterback with multiple rushing touchdowns and a TD pass in the fourth quarter of a single NFL game.
What were Justin Fields’ stats in the Jets vs. Bengals game?
Fields went 21-of-32 for 244 yards and one touchdown, with no interceptions. He added 31 yards on 11 carries and converted two 2-point attempts — running for one and passing to Isaiah Davis for the other.
What was the final score of Jets vs. Bengals on October 26, 2025?
The New York Jets defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 39-38 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati. It was New York’s first win of the 2025 NFL season.
How many receptions did Ja’Marr Chase have against the Jets?
Chase caught 12 passes on 19 targets for 91 yards and no touchdowns — his third consecutive game with double-digit receptions.
How many rushing yards did the Jets have against the Bengals?
New York ran for 254 yards on 37 carries at 6.9 yards per attempt, a season high at that point. Breece Hall led with 133 yards on 18 carries.
Who scored the winning touchdown in the Jets-Bengals game?
Mason Taylor caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Breece Hall with 1:54 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Jets a 39-38 lead. Nick Folk’s extra point was the final score.
Hall finished with 133 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, a TD reception, and the only pass of his NFL career — all in a fourth quarter the Jets needed every yard of. The 502 total offensive yards were the most New York put up in the 2025 regular season to that point. For the Bengals, three ground touchdowns and 398 yards went to waste as Cincinnati fell to 3-5 and lost for the fifth time in six games — a collapse that began with a three-and-out on their final possession, Flacco throwing two straight incompletions at their own 45.
Claire R. Conant is the founder and editor of The Press Row. Born and raised in New York, she spent years covering professional sports across multiple leagues before launching this publication in April 2026, largely out of frustration with a sports media industry that had decided moving fast mattered more than being right. Her reporting covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, cricket, and international football, and every figure published under her byline is verified against official data before the piece moves. She started The Press Row because she believed readers who actually understood the game deserved a publication built to the same standard. That standard has not changed since day one, and it applies to every writer on staff.
