CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow is back and so is the Bengals' offense.

The 27-year-old led Cincinnati on a 12-play drive that ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins to start the game on Saturday night against the Buccaneers.

The Bengals won the coin toss and took the ball. Burrow completed 5-of-7 passes for 51 yards on the drive. He completed a pass to four different players: Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin and Chase Brown.

The Bengals racked up five first downs and they went 73 yards in 6:26.

That was Burrow's first drive since undergoing season-ending wrist surgery in November. The star quarterback has looked good in training camp and it translated to the field on Saturday night.

Jake Browning replaced Burrow on the Bengals' second possession. Watch Burrow's touchdown toss to Higgins here.
