Stop me when you’ve heard this before: Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase were awesome in a playoff game.
That was exactly the case Saturday evening in Cincinnati as Burrow and Chase helped lead the Bengals to its first playoff win in 31 years over the Las Vegas Raiders, 26-19.
Burrow was a cool 24-34 for 244 yards, two touchdowns and zero picks in his NFL playoff debut. Chase led all receivers with nine catches for 116 yards.
In what felt like an homage to the 2020 CFP National Championship game, Burrow’s first career playoff touchdown looked eerily similar to the throw he made to Thad Moss to put LSU ahead of Clemson.
