CBS Sports broke down the top do-over in the history of each NFL team this week and Cincinnati's isn't hard to come up with. Bryan DeArdo landed on the last offensive play of Cincinnati's 2022 NFL playoff run as his pick.

Joe Burrow may have hit a wide-open Ja'Marr Chase for the Super Bowl-winning touchdown against Los Angelese if he had just a bit more time to throw.

"Until they win a Super Bowl, Bengals fans will be haunted by the touchdown that should have been at the end of their team's 23-20 loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI," DeArdo wrote. "Ja'Marr Chase, who had burned Jalen Ramsey on a 46-yard reception earlier in the game, got past Ramsey again on the Bengals' final offensive play.

"Unfortunately for the Bengals, quarterback Joe Burrow wasn't able to get the ball to him. Burrow, who was sacked a whopping seven times, was under siege by Aaron Donald, who forced Burrow to throw an errant pass to running back Samaje Perine. Had Burrow had an extra second, he likely would have hit Chase downfield for the game-winning score while sealing Cincinnati's first Super Bowl win."

Would've, could've, should've.

Cincinnati's protection issues cost them that Super Bowl and they have been trying to get back ever since. They should have the best offensive line of the Joe Burrow era this fall if the group's health holds up.
