For Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, ignorance is bliss in the NFL playoffs. This is why he thinks they have been really successful so far in their shocking postseason run.

On Saturday against the AFC-best Tennessee Titans, Burrow and his Bengals pulled off a shocker with an incredible 19-16 win. While the game looked like it was heading to overtime, Cincinnati linebacker Logan Wilson stole a deflected interception with 20 seconds left near the midfield. It was the break they needed, allowing them to take the game-winning field goal as time expired.

It was definitely an incredible moment for the Bengals who last won a playoff game in January 1991 prior to these playoffs. Now, they have won two after also taking down the Las Vegas Raiders in the Wild Card round.

When asked how they were able to win despite their clear lack of playoff experience, Burrow credited it to the fact that there is not a lot of pressure on them. Not to mention that since they don't know what to expect, it has helped them focus on the job they need to do instead of thinking other useless thoughts.
