Way back in December of 2019, the one-win Cincinnati Bengals played the three-win Miami Dolphins in a game that could have determined who got the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
All while this was happening, Joe Burrow was having the greatest year for a quarterback in the history of NCAA football, and by the end of the year, it was clear he would be chosen first.
The Bengals luckily lost a wild game, 38-35, in overtime. In that game, the Bengals newest tight end, Mike Gesicki, who signed via free agency, caught six passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns, helping push the Dolphins over the top and Burrow right into the Bengals’ waiting arms.
