Despite a calf injury, QB Joe Burrow played every offensive snap Monday night in helping the Bengals pick up their first win. 'There is risk to go out there and potentially reinjure it,' he said. 'But there's also the risk to not go out there and be 0-3.'
Burrow was 26-of-49 passing for 259 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. After the game, he acknowledged that he and the offense need to be better. However, their performance was enough on a night when linebackerhad two interceptions, the defense tallied six sacks and held the Rams to one touchdown on four red zone drives.
"I was like, 'You got nuts, boy. I didn't want you to play,'" Chase said."That just shows that Joe's hard-headed. But he's a football player, man. You can't knock him from being tough like that. They don't make too many quarterbacks tough like that." Bengals coach Zac Taylor, the team's offensive playcaller, dialed up a fake toss for Burrow that involved him rolling to his right with no protection. He found a wide-open Chase for Cincinnati's longest play of the season.
"I asked him a few plays before and he felt good about it," Taylor said."It's a quick toss, probably seven steps before he whipped out the bench route to Ja'Marr."
