Bengals' plan to protect Joe Burrow faces stiff test vs. Steelers

CINCINNATI -- The last storyline the Cincinnati Bengals wanted to hear this season is the one that can’t go away.

During the offseason, the biggest talking point was how the franchise planned to protect Joe Burrow after the 2020 top overall pick suffered a season-ending knee injury last November.

Through two games, the pressure hasn’t been relieved. Burrow has been sacked more times per dropback than any other quarterback in the NFL.
