Former All-Pro center Jason Kelce would've pulled Burrow from the game.

Stephen A. Smith went scorched earth on Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor over his Joe Burrow Decision.

The quarterback played 24 snaps in Monday's win over the Commanders, expressing satisfaction with protection and Cincinnati's efficient running game.

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led LSU to a 15-0 season in 2019. He won the Heisman Trophy, LSU won the National Championship and he was taken by the Bengals with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Bengals fans held their breath as quarterback Joe Burrow was brought down violently twice during preseason action against the Commanders.

Burrow’s preference comes through in the answer. It’s “great” to get the deals done early, like the Bengals did with Higgins and Chase. And while the NFL is a deadline-driven business, the deadline when a player is holding in shouldn’t be Week 1. It should be tied to the practical deadline for getting the player ready to go for Week 1.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow roams the globe before ultimately being engulfed for a 17-yard sack.

"Well Jake Browning, he comes in now," Troy Aikman said during the broadcast. "He takes over. Oh, excuse me. No Burrow, he's back in."
