(PHOTO: David Kohl - USA TODAY Sports) The Patriots rolled into Cincinnati on Sunday looking to break their two game losing streak and prevent the first three game one since 2002.
Echoes of the 2014 “On to Cincinnati” rally cry were in the air leading up to the game as optimistic built for a December turnaround.
Check out all the best sights and sounds from social media as the game progressed from start to finish below.

Another great opening drive for Josh McDaniels. Back-to-back weeks he's led the way for a TD on first possession.

The Bengals answered back when wide receiver Cethan Carter hauled in the tying score.
A Randy Bullock 34 yard field goal gave the Bengals a surprising 10-7 lead after a quarter.
In the second, a Nick Folk 40 yard field goal knotted the game at ten but the special teams unit provided another opportunity for points.
The fumbled punt lead to another Nick Folk field goal just before halftime to give the Patriots a 13-10 lead.

In the third quarter, the Patriots defense began to tighten up and dominate quarterback Andy Dalton and his offense.
Who else but cornerback Stephon Gilmore to get it going?

The pick turned into points.
Rookie wideout N’Keal Harry hauled in a seven yard pass from Tom Brady for his second (should be third) career touchdown.
20-10 New England.

Coming into today, Brady was 5/10 targeting Harry with a TD.
Today, he's 2/3, including that TD. Seeing those two get on the same page may end up being a huge key to their success in the coming weeks.

N'Keal Harry becomes one of seven rookie receivers to have two or more touchdown receptions with Tom Brady

A Stephon Gilmore 64 yard pick six on the ensuing Bengals drive broke the game open and pushed the Patriot lead to 27-10.

From @ESPNStatsInfo: Stephon Gilmore's 3rd career multi-interception game (1st with Patriots). It's his 2nd TD of the year. He had 0 TD in his career entering the year.
Also, it's the 7th non-offensive TD of the season for the Patriots, most in the NFL.

In the fourth quarter, a Randy Bullock 48 Yd Field Goal would be all the Bengals could muster for the remainder of the day.
A Rex Burkhead 33 yard touchdown run in his return to Cincinnati sealed the Patriots eleventh win of 2019 with a 34-13 victory and a playoff berth

With Rex Burkhead scoring a TD, the Patriots ensure they won't be held shy of 30 points for a seventh straight game. That would have tied the longest streak in the Belichick/Brady era, going back to 2005.

Did You Know: With Stephon Gilmore and J.C. Jackson both intercepting two passes apiece Sunday, it is the first time the Patriots have had two players each intercept two passes in a game since Nov. 9, 1986. Ronnie Lippett and Steve Nelson each had two picks that day at the Colts.
