In the Bengals’ final three playoff games culminating with a 23-20 loss in Super Bowl LVI, quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked 17 times.

The breakdown of the sacks per game:

AFC Divisional win over Titans: 9 sacks

AFC Championship Game win over Chiefs: 1 sack

Super Bowl LVI loss to Rams: 7 sacks.

Sure, Los Angeles had one of the most fearsome pass rushes in the NFL this season, but Chiefs fans were still miffed at the thought of how in frequently Burrow was sacked in the AFC Championship Game.

Here is a sample of what Chiefs fans were sharing on Twitter on Sunday night.
