After a few practice kicks, the rookie was apparently feeling really good about his ability to knock down the biggest kick of his life that he told his QB that the game was already won.
“That guy’s unbelievable,” Burrow said after the game. “As he was going out to kick, he gave a little warm-up swing and he said ‘Ah looks like we’re going to the AFC Championship.'”
