Former Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints coach Bum Phillips knew what it takes to be a leader:
“You fail all the time, but you aren’t a failure until you start blaming someone else.”
No one will ever accuse Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow of being a failure.
Burrow, after completing 16/25 passes for 189 yards in the first half, suffered through a miserable second half when he completed just 5/15 passes for 34 yards. And he put that loss squarely on his own shoulders.
