Second-year quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals secured a spot in the Super Bowl in thrilling fashion on Sunday. The Bengals overcame an 18-point deficit en route to a 27-24 overtime walk-off win on the leg of rookie kicker Evan McPherson, whom you might remember from his divisional-round star turn.
While Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs had experience on their side, Burrow was the fifth player in the past 30 seasons to enter a conference championship game while leading the NFL in both completion percentage and yards per attempt (including playoffs).
