Reactions: Joe Burrow lifts Bengals to 21 unanswered points in AFC Championship
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow helped Cincinnati rally from a 21-3 deficit to take a 24-21 lead during the fourth quarter of Sunday's AFC Championship win in Kansas City, and he led his team with his arm as well as his legs.
Burrow avoided pass-rushers and made throws, and even rushed for 28 yards on four carries - with a long of 11.
"There's a chance Burrow never touches the ball again," CBS color analyst Tony Romo said during the Chiefs' drive late in the fourth quarter.
An interception by Bengals lineman B.J. Hill helped keep the Chiefs scoreless in the second half.
Social media reactions:
The Bengals have scored 21 unanswered points on the Chiefs.
