Mitchell Tinsley's first career NFL catch is a Bengals TD and one of the best of the NFL season

No Joe Burrow, no problem.

At least for this touchdown pass and sensational catch.

With Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury, Jake Browning took over at quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He connected for a touchdown with wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley, who made one of the best catches of this young NFL season.

With Jacksonville holding a 17-10 lead, Cincinnati drove into the red zone on the first possession of the the second half. Browning looked to Tinsley on a fade route down the right sideline from the 14-yard line. Jarrian Jones had tight man coverage on Tinsley. But no matter.

Tinsley hauled in the pass with one hand while pinned against the sideline by Jones.

Replay confirmed that Tinsley got a foot and his shin down before he landed out of bounds, and the touchdown stood.

Even more remarkable? The catch was the first of Tinsley's NFL career. Tinsley joined the NFL in 2023 with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State. He didn't tally a catch as a rookie and joined Washington's practice squad ahead of the 2024 season.

Tinsley joined the Bengals this offseason, but didn't secure a catch in Week 1 against the Browns. But he's officially in the box score on Sunday with a first NFL catch to remember.
