Joe Burrow has been a dominant force for the Cincinnati Bengals over the last season and a half but the one thing he was missing on his resume was a victory over the Cleveland Browns.
He entered Sunday’s game against the AFC North foe and in-state rival 0-4, and it seemed as though the Bengals were entering a trap game as the Browns were playing their second game with Deshaun Watson under center. But as Burrow began the second quarter with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase, those thoughts began to disappear.
