The Cincinnati Bengals, once again, ended the regular season without Joe Burrow as their starting quarterback.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a torn ACL that kept the quarterback from playing the last several weeks. Unfortunately, the torn ligament in his wrist was enough to crush Cincinnati’s playoff aspirations, which were on the rise when he was injured.
On a Thursday night primetime showdown with the Baltimore Ravens on November 16th, 2023, Burrow went down in clear pain, and something seemed off immediately.
Jake Browning took over, and while he was a success story during his starts, this team isn’t the same without Burrow on the field.
