Also, on defense we looked slow with the pass rush and got very little pressure.
The Chiefs staff outschemed us. They got pressure on Joe and had coverage. They had a ton of injuries too.
It sucks, but man after Zacs rookie year if you told me within the next few years we'd go to and AFC championship game and a SB...I'd take it.
While it stings, night like tonight will make that championship sweeter one day!
Per PFF, Burrow under pressure on 43% of his dropbacks yesterday, despite an overall average time to throw of just 2.64 seconds (!!).

Some context only the tape can reveal in there, but this matches the eye test. Bengals probably win with an average OL performance imo.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
