Joe Burrow hits Ja’Marr Chase as Bengals gamble on fourth down

A Bengals game on fourth down led to a touchdown and a tie game

The Cincinnati Bengals rolled the dice and came up smelling great on a fourth-down gamble in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sam Hubbard recovered a fumble to set up Cincinnati at the KC 45.

Faced with a fourth-and-6 on the first play of the fourth quarter, Joe Burrow went deep into double coverage and looked for former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase.

The play was good for 35 yards and set the Bengals up with a first-and-goal.

On second down, Burrow handed off to Samaje Perine, who found paydirt.

A PAT by Evan McPherson and the game was tied at 20.
