Joe Burrow left Cris Collinsworth in awe during Bengals Game-Tying Drive vs. Chargers

The Cincinnati Bengals made an impressive comeback in their Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, and Joe Burrow’s heroics were behind it.

Early in the fourth quarter, Burrow managed to escape a collapsing pocket and scramble outside before firing a pass to running back Chase Brown, who tacked on a few yards after the catch. What seemed like it could potentially be a big loss for Cincinnati ultimately put them in prime field position, thanks in large part to Burrow’s elusive maneuvering in the pocket.

Even NBC’s Cris Collinsworth couldn’t help but chuckle at Burrow’s ability to stay on his feet. Derwin James had rushed into the backfield and nearly secured a sack, but Burrow was able to throw off the tackle before finding Brown in space.

“Ha! That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen Joe Burrow make. It looked like it was DOA. There was no way he was going to get out of there with Derwin James flying right off the edge. And then there’s There’s no way he can do that.” making that completion, and there’s no way Chase Brown is going to pick it up and run with it. What a play that was,” Collinsworth said.

It was a pivotal moment for the Bengals, who kept their foot on the gas throughout the drive and capped it off with a touchdown throw from Burrow to Ja’Marr Chase, his second score of the game.

After entering the second half trailing 24-6, the Bengals came all the way back thanks to some special moments from Burrow and the rest of the offense.
