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

The Cincinnati Bengals staged an impressive comeback during their Week 11 tilt against the Los Angeles Chargers, and Joe Burrows’ heroics were at the root of 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 scrambled a few more yards after the catch. What looked like it could potentially be a big loss for Cincinnati ended up putting them in prime field position thanks largely to Burrows’ evasive maneuvering in the pocket.

Even NBC’s Cris Collinsworth couldn’t help but laugh at Burrow’s ability to stay on his feet. Derwin James had burst into the backfield and nearly secured a sack, but Burrow was able to shed 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 over the edge like that. And then there’s no way he’s making that completion and there’s no way Chase Brown is catching it and running with it like that, which was a play,” Collinsworth said.

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

After going into the second half trailing 24–6, the Bengals came right back thanks to some special moments from Burrow and the rest of the offense.
