The Cincinnati Bengals have had an amazing season, as they have improbably advanced to Super Bowl 56 when seemingly no one had them on their radar as contenders prior to the season. Integral to the Bengals' success has been star quarterback Joe Burrow and star wideout Ja'Marr Chase, whose connection has propelled the franchise to new heights. However, things weren't always so bright regarding their NFL futures, as Burrow dealt with a season-ending injury last season while Chase took some heat for comments he made about catching NFL footballs compared to their college counterparts. Fast forward one year and things couldn't have gone better for Burrow, Chase and the Bengals. They are on the precipice of their ultimate goal with Super Bowl 56 set to kickoff this weekend and the two stars took home two big-time awards, the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award and the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow took home the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award. Burrow suffered a season-ending knee injury last year but incredibly rebounded to throw for over 4600 yards and 34 touchdowns while leading the Bengals to a division and AFC title. But Burrow wasn't the only Cincinnati star to take home some hardware, as Ja'Marr Chase joined the fun too.

Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase took home the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award after racking up the most receiving yards by any rookie in the Super Bowl era. Chase showed what he can do in the NFL while playing with his old LSU buddy Burrow, as the connection became one of the NFL's deadliest.
After reeling in some big-time hardware, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase will try to bring home the biggest NFL hardware there is.
