Joe Burrow took the NFL by storm this postseason, leading the Bengals to the precipice of its first Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
After Matthew Stafford found game MVP Cooper Kupp for a go-ahead touchdown with 1:25 remaining in the game, Burrow had a chance to win the game. After finding Ja’Marr Chase for 17 yards to open the drive, he connect with Tajh Boyd on its second play for nine yards. Those would be the last yards that Cincinnati would add on the day.
On second-and-1, Burrow’s throw to Chase was incomplete. Samaje Perine was stuffed on a run on third down, and Burrow threw an incompletion to Perine on fourth down, handing the ball—and the win—to Stafford and the Rams.
