Except this wasn't some 1-in-a-million shot. I mean, you are aware that Burrow and Chase hooked up for even longer pass plays multiple times prior to this play, right? Just because it occurred on a 3rd-and-27 doesn't make it lucky all-of-a-sudden. Or, are you claiming that ALL of Burrow's deep passes are lucky?

So, again, I ask you, where was the luck?

So every play that's set some kind of record in the NFL is the result of luck. Got it. 

BTW, why did you stop at 4 years?
