Joe Burrow: "He's That Guy"

Plus: The offensive line shines bright under the primetime lights! [View In Browser]( [Bengals Blitz]( [Joe Burrow]( JOE BURROW CONVINCES CHASE, IN WIN OVER RAMS: 'HE'S THAT GUY' Joe Burrow, the highest-paid lobbyist in America, spent last week convincing his coaches and medical staff that his strained right calf could survive Monday night's Paycor Stadium game with the Rams. Then he went out and showed his teammates why you can never count him or them out in a 19-16 victory that may have not been pretty but defined the success of the Burrow Era. Must wins. Clutch playmakers. Opportunistic defense. A deafening prime-time crowd, now 5-0 in the 2020s when, as head coach Zac Talyor says, the lights are on. "That's really why we've been so good. The coaching staff has a great relationship with everybody in the locker room, and that trust has been built," Burrow said. "Not just me, but everyone in that locker room feels comfortable going up and talking to Zac and all the coaches and being honest and open. I think that's going to continue to be a big reason why we win."

Go to the adjoining lockers of center Ted Karras and left guard Cordell Volson about a half-hour after the Bengals beat the Rams. Zac Taylor looked at Volson, grabbed his arm, let it go as he walked away and said, "I appreciate what you did." What they did was make sure Aaron Donald didn't dismantle the game. Sure, he had a hell of a night. Like Karras said, "He had another good Aaron Donald game." A sack, a hit, five hurries.

Burrow had plenty of help from his friends. Ja'Marr Chase put on one of the great performances by a Bengals wide receiver with 12 catches for 141 yards, and running back Joe Mixon drained the second half clock while scoring Cincy's only touchdown of the game before finishing with 65 yards on 19 carries. But the night belonged to the defense with right end Trey Hendrickson's two sacks and middle linebacker Logan Wilson's two interceptions.

"Yes, that was critical, that was critical. Once we got that lead in the second half, the defense started to really tee off. As a quarterback, that kind of changes your mindset of the game. You don't have to take as many chances; you're not going to try to fit as many into tight windows. When you have a defense like that, they take care of the rest" stated Burrow.

To hear them get a chance to sing the song in the locker room is good. It creates positive energy for the week, which we haven't had. You feel that hanging over you. Our guys managed this game well and it starts with the defense. They set the tone while the offense was getting their feet underneath them. To hold them to six points at halftime and then allow the offense to get momentum and play with a lead" responded Taylor.
