It felt like the Bengals quarterback was running for his life all across January and February. And finally ran out of time.
But he’d trotted back in. He tried to engineer a clock-bleeding drive with the Bengals up 20-16 — the same score by which they’d lost Super Bowl XXIII 33 years earlier. He couldn’t kill it completely. He’d given the ball back to the Rams, back to Matthew Stafford, and Stafford had seized the moment. The Rams went up 23-20.But he’d left the door open. He’d left Burrow 85 seconds, two timeouts. And Burrow got right to work: 17 yards to his favorite target and fellow LSU Tiger, Ja’Marr Chase.
But here, a funny thing happened on the way to the Lombardi Trophy. Burrow tried to catch the Rams napping but couldn’t connect deep with Chase — a bit of an odd play-call, to be sure. Samaja Perine got his second carry of the day — aNow it was fourth down, fourth-and-1, fourth-and-the season. Burrow still believed. The Who-Dey Nation cloaked in their orange and black that filled a huge chunk of the stadium believed.
But he wound up sacked 19 times this postseason, another record. It felt like he was running for his life all across January and February. And“We’re a young team,” Burrow said. ‘We’ll have other opportunities. We’ll still celebrate what we did this year.” It just wasn’t the celebration they wanted, or the one Joe Burrow expected. Matthew Stafford took his happily ever after away from him.
