The Cincinnati Bengals are headed to the Super Bowl.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on the road 27-24 in overtime, and they’ll now play the winner of the Rams/49ers game. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Yes, they punched their ticket to the Super Bowl after drilling a field goal in OT, despite not winning the toss!

If you didn’t have a dog in this fight, you had to cheer for the Bengals. You just had to. Nobody likes the Chiefs, and Joe Burrow is a gamer.

That guy is an absolute gamer, and there’s no other way to put it. He willed the Bengals to a win today.

Can the Bengals win the Super Bowl against the 49ers/Rams winner? I 100% believe they can. Will it happen? I have no idea, but at this point, is anyone dumb enough to bet against Burrow?

I think the answer to that is no. What an absolutely unreal game.

I can’t wait to see who the Bengals play for the Lombardi Trophy. What an amazing sport!
