I would imagine they will cast it up and he'll club it if he has too.

I'm hearing a few weeks, not several.

He apparently broke his wrist in the first half and played with it the rest of the game. 8-)

Serious question: has anyone offered up an explanation for why Burrow has so many balls batted down at the line of scrimmage? He must be averaging 3-4 a game. He's listed as 6'4" so height isn't the issue.

I think QBs that are true pocket passers have that issue. They are reading the routes and really dont even see the dlinemen unless they are running free. I seem to remember Manning had a lot of batted passes too.

Separately, 14 solo tackles for Wilson!?! Holy crap!! Only 6 yards rushing allowed in the second half?!?! Holy crap again!!

Tough gritty divisional win. Wasn’t pretty but those are the kind of games you gotta pull out in December

I think a big factor is that he doesn't drop back as far in the pocket so closer to lineman makes it harder to get it up and over the DL.

Okay, so that begs the next question....why doesn't he drop back further?

This question was brought up in the post game press conference and he stated teams are actually playing for that now. Not really sure how that works honestly but seems like they're trying to focus on that.
