He said, “I was anticipating throwing it, I just didn’t quite have the time…”

Burrow was swung wildly by Aaron Donald and he ended up passing to Samaje Perine, which turned out to be incomplete. If Burrow had made the pass to Chase, it may very well have been a different outcome for the Bengals.

Chase appeared to have Jalen Ramsey beat during that snap. These led the Rams to run out the clock and go home with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, winning the match 23-20.

Burrow threw for 263 yards in the Super Bowl and got one touchdown. Apart from this, though, he got sacked 7 times throughout the game, which the Bengals ultimately lost with a very narrow margin.
