Njoku only caught 5 balls on the day for 29 yards, but it was his spectacular one hand grab that tied the game in regulation that everyone will remember.

Then with just :19 seconds left in ot, Brissett engineered a 71 yard drive that ended with Nick Chubb scoring from 3 yards out for the win.

Chubb finished with 116 yards on 26 carries and the score. With those 116 yards, it puts Chubb over the 1,000 yard mark for the fourth time in his career and for the fourth consecutive season.
