The Cincinnati Bengals and quarterback Joe Burrow made a number of near-unforgettable plays while storming to the playoffs and then a Super Bowl appearance last season.
And now the NFL’s social media team wants to know something simple — did Joe Burrow have the most underrated play of the entire postseason?
It’s a question the NFL asked recently. The post highlighted Burrow’s unbelievable escape from pressure in the fourth quarter of the AFC title game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Said play wasn’t just a stunning display of Burrow’s elusiveness, as it picked up a first down on a third-and-seven attempt deep in his team’s territory. They’d eventually go on to take the lead before winning in overtime:

Whether this is actually the most impressive play of the entire postseason is hard to say, but Burrow was good for one or two of these plays a month, quite a feat for a guy in a knee brace after coming back early from an injury.
