Joe Burrow has arrived and he is here to stay.

After Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw his second interception of the game during the overtime period, Burrow engineered a methodical 9-play, 42-yard drive to set up an Evan McPherson game-winning 31-yard field goal to lift Cincinnati to its first Super Bowl appearance since Super Bowl XXIII in 1989.

Burrow and the Bengals matched the biggest comeback in an AFC championship game when they rallied from an 18-point deficit to reach their third Super Bowl in franchise history. 

The Bengals hadn’t won a postseason game since 1991 before they beat the Las Vegas Raiders in the wild-card round of the playoffs earlier this month, and they earned their first road victory in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history when they defeated the top-seeded Tennessee Titans in the divisional round.
