Bengals' Joe Burrow Sacked 70 Times in 2021-2022 Season, 3rd-most in NFL History

The Cincinnati Bengals' top priority this offseason as they attempt to repeat their AFC championship? Protect Joe Burrow.

The Bengals quarterback was sacked seven times in Cincinnati's Super Bowl LVI loss to the Los Angeles Rams, bringing him to 70 total sacks on the season. That is the third-highest total in NFL history behind David Carr (2002) and Randall Cunningham (1986).

Burrow looked worse for wear as Sunday's game went along, hobbling off the field in the second half after taking a hit to his knee. While he remained in the game, it was clear Burrow wasn't 100 percent the rest of the way as the Rams came back for a 23-20 victory.
