Twitter reacts as Joe Burrow leads Bengals past Bills in snowy Divisional Round matchup
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals braved blizzard-like conditions in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon to stun the favored Bills on their home field. With the 27-10 win, Cincinnati will travel to Kansas City for the AFC Championship in a rematch of last year’s contest against the Chiefs.
The conditions were far from ideal for Burrow and the Bengals’ passing game, but that didn’t stop the former LSU signal-caller from leading an efficient performance. He completed his first nine passes with two touchdowns — one of which went to Ja'Marr Chase, who totaled five catches for 61 yards — and he finished the game 23 of 36 for 242 yards with that pair of passing touchdowns.
A 100-plus-yard day for Joe Mixon on the ground and a lights-out defensive performance against Josh Allen and Co. also certainly helped.
With Burrow set to play for the chance to go to a second-straight Super Bowl, here’s how Twitter reacted.

The Cincinnati Bengals won five playoff games, total, in their first 53 years of existence.
They are about to win their fifth with Joe Burrow the last two years.

I am often more impressed with the ungodly talented things Patrick Mahomes, & Josh Allen do while quarterbacking than anything, but Joe Burrow’s ability to navigate, assess, & execute the responsibilities of the position absolutely fascinate me! Legit quarterback savant.

one day Ja'Marr Chase caught a touchdown from Joe Burrow in a random blowout against FCS Southeastern Louisiana and was like "ok let's just keep doing that for the next 15 years"

Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase won a natty at LSU and then turned a 2–14 Bengals into perennial contenders basically overnight. Is the SEC just that much better than the AFC?
