CINCINNATI -- During one practice this season, something didn't feel right between Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
A couple of passes missed the mark. So, the two stayed after for four or five extra throws. Chase instructed Burrow where to put the ball, and Burrow, the most accurate passer in the NFL this season, obliged. The next ball hit Chase right in the hands.
"That's the throw," Chase said. "That's the one."
The connection between Burrow and Chase, which goes back to their days at LSU, has been the backbone to Cincinnati's run to Super Bowl LVI.
