“This is the standard for the bare minimum every year going forward.” Joe burrow is cool and unfazed after the Bengals’ first playoff win in 31 years
Joe Burrow and the Bengals showed up against the Raiders and won Cincinatti their first playoff win in 31 years. And Joe Burrow is trying to make that a habit.
A last-second interception secured the Bengals’ first playoff win since the 1990 season. A late push by the Raiders to take the game to overtime came to nothing, as Burrow and the Bengals moved on to the divisional round.
He finished 24 of 34 passing for 244 yards and two first-half touchdowns to CJ Uzomah and Tyler Boyd and maintained control over the game for the majority of the period.
