WATCH: Joe Burrow has iconic moment ahead of winning drive

Things were looking bleak for Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals as they entered the locker room for halftime on Thursday.

The Bengals, who entered the game with a 2-1 record and a 7.5-point favorite on the spread, were trailing the winless Jacksonville Jaguars, 14-0, at the half. Burrow, the 2020 first-overall NFL Draft pick, was dueling with Trevor Lawrence, the 2021 first-overall NFL Draft pick, in a rematch of the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game, where Burrow and LSU defeated Lawrence and Clemson.

The result of the Thursday Night Football game was no different than that National Championship game, as Burrow and the Bengals ended up defeating Lawrence and the Jaguars 24-21. But the makings of Burrow’s win was a signature moment in his young NFL career.

Not only did Burrow have to mount a substantial second-half comeback, but the second-year quarterback had to put together a game-winning drive, as the Bengals and Jaguars were knotted up at 21 in the fourth.

When Burrow first lined up in the pocket on the final drive, he uttered an iconic phrase en route to victory.

“Put it in my hands,” he said, pacing up and down the sidelines. “Just put it in my hands. It’s over.”

“Just put it in my hands. It’s over.”

On the final possession of the game, Burrow ended up putting together a perfect 10-play drive that spanned roughly five-and-a-half minutes and resulted in a field goal. Burrow started off the drive by completing a 12-yard pass to Tyler Boyd, then a couple more rushing plays for Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine brought up third-and-1. Burrow completed four more passes to Perine, C.J. Uzomah, Boyd and Uzomah again — the last one good for 25 yards — bringing up the Bengals field goal unit for a 35-yard attempt.

Evan McPherson ended up nailing the game-winning, 35-yard field goal, his second game-winning field goal in just his rookie season, highlighting Burrow’s late-game heroics in the win.

Burrow finished the game with an efficient stat line, completing 25 of his 32 passing attempts for 348 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, out-dueling his first-overall counterpart in Lawrence, who completed 17 of his 24 passing attempts for 204 passing yards and a rushing touchdown.

With the win, Burrow and the Bengals moved to 3-1 and into first-place in the AFC North, a position in which the Bengals have not been for quite some time. Next up, the Bengals face the Packers at home, a test for Burrow and the young Bengals defense.
