The Cincinnati Bengals entered Sunday looking to keep their playoff hopes alive as they'll need to win out while the Broncos will need to lose out to get the Bengals into the playoff. The Bengals started off shaky on defense allowing the Browns to drive down to the 1 yard line but, the Bengals defense stood tall punching the ball out giving the Bengals the ball on the one yard line.
Joe Burrow and the offense quickly got to work working their way down the field to get into the redzone within 7 plays. Then Joe Burrow found himself under pressure, and got hit while stepping up in the pocket but, before he was ruled down, Burrow was able to keep himself open firing a strike to Tee Higgins for a touchdown.

The play is unbelievable and one you watch over and over again wondering how he was able to stay up, how he was able to throw the ball accurately, and how he even saw Tee Higgins.
The Bengals need to find their way into the Playoffs as Joe Burrow has given the Bengals an MVP level season and in the Playoffs this offense could beat any team on any day. Burrow leads the NFL with 3,977 yards passing, is 2nd with 36 touchdowns, a 74.1 QBR which ranks 3rd in the league, and just eight interceptions.
