Joe Burrow on AFC Title Game: These Moments Are 'The Reason I Play Football'

Kansas City hosts Cincinnati on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is known for playing well in big games. 

Whether it was his record-setting performance in the College Football Playoff at LSU or what he did to the Ravens, Steelers and Chiefs in the regular season, Burrow's "clutch" gene has translated to the NFL.  

He's looking forward to Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. 

"These [games] are the reason that I play football. I play to get to these moments and to make plays and take advantage of my opportunities. I work really hard for these moments," Burrow said. "If I worked really hard and never got to a position that I'm in right now playing in an AFC Championship game [with a] chance to go to the Super Bowl, I think that would be tough for me mentally to work as hard as I do in the offseason to come in and go .500 every year and be a fringe playoff team. I work so hard so I can get into these moments and play well."

The Bengals haven't made it to a Super Bowl in 33 years. Burrow will look to end that streak on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
