On fourth down in the middle of the second quarter, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow heard the team was going for it and then looked up at the crowd. He waved his arms downward to shush the crowd, and the 66,277 fans immediately fell silent.
Burrow called an audible at the line of scrimmage and moved to take a quarterback sneak. Then he signaled for wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase to motion to the middle of the field, tossed the ball to Chase and watched him run for an easy first down.
Burrow played like he had the entire game and had the entire stadium in the palm of his hand. He had a full grasp of the moment and the 31-year stretch without a playoff win for the franchise.
The Raiders got the ball back down 7 points with two minutes left. After the Raiders made it inside the red zone, the Bengals defense got its moment on 4th and goal from the 9-yard line. Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt intercepted a pass at the goal line, and Paul Brown Stadium celebrated a Bengals win for the first time.
