Bengals second-year quarterback Joe Burrow guided the franchise to its first Super Bowl appearance since the 1988 season on Sunday, as Cincinnati took down Kansas City 27–24 in overtime.
Key to their success was Burrow, who finished the victory with 250 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday morning that prior to selecting Burrow No. 1 in the 2020 NFL draft, the Dolphins reached out to the Bengals about trying to acquire the pick that would amount to the then-reigning Heisman Trophy winner. Per NFL Network Miami reportedly offered Cincinnati three first-round picks as part of a potential blockbuster.
