The Cincinnati Bengals are truly going to think about this play forever if they never make it back to the Super Bowl.
On what turned out to be the Bengals final offensive play, Joe Burrow couldn’t break free of Aaron Donald and ended up throwing the ball near one of his players who was not expecting it to come his way, so it fell to the ground and the game was over.
As it turns out, if Burrow just had one or two more seconds, he could’ve had his favorite WR for the game winning TD.
Per The Athletic’s Jay Morrison, “Ja’Marr Chase already was behind Jalen Ramsey on a go route when Ramsey fell on the fourth-and-1 game ender. If Burrow had a sliver more time …”
Chase caught five of his eight targets for 89 yards in the 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Burrow completed 22 of 33 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
We can only hope the Bengals get a much better offensive line to keep Burrow upright and get this team ready for greatness.
