Quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals are headed to their first Super Bowl since the 1988 season after defeating the Chiefs, 27–20, in overtime on Sunday in the AFC championship.
Burrow finished the victory with 250 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Sunday's win capped off a historic playoff run for Cincinnati, who had not won a postseason game since the 1990 season, even though they had made the playoffs seven times between the 2005 and 2015 NFL seasons.
After the win, Burrow admitted that predicting a Bengals Super Bowl run would have seemed absurd, even to him, after last year's result.
