What happened to Joe Burrow? The Bengals QB may be injured after Brian Burns' brutal hit

The commentators described the Cincinnati Bengals-New York Giants game as “ugly.” Maybe it was because the game was pretty boring and nearly scoreless until the end of the third quarter. There was nothing special other than Joe Burrow's 47-yard TD run in the first quarter.

But everything changed in the final quarter and Joe Burrow suddenly got injured. The score was 10-7 and Burrow was under pressure to improve his team's 1-4 record. However, Brian Burns, the Giants DE, had other plans. He beat Joe Burrow and things looked bad. Giants beat reporter Art Stapleson provided the important updates.

The reporter went to X and wrote: “Joe Burrow is in the medical tent on the Bengals sideline after blocking Brian Burns' shot. Meanwhile, Jake Browning, his replacement, makes a few warm-up throws on the sideline.”

A quick look back at the injury tells us exactly what happened. Burns, who recently signed a 5-year, $141 million contract with the Giants, easily found his way along the Cincinnati Bengals' O-line and found his way to Joe Burrow. It was a huge blow to the QB and the Giants DE tackled him to the ground with a hard hug.

Burrow was checked in the blue tent while Jake Browning prepared to throw the rest of the game. Luckily, it wasn't a major injury, although Burrow looked like he was having a hard time getting up. However, the quarterback returned to watch his running back, Chase Brown, rush into the end zone for a 30-yard TD.

The game ended with a score of 17-7 and the Cincy team is now 2-4. Burrow totaled 208 yards on 19 of his 28 passes. He also had a rushing touchdown, as mentioned, but nothing more. It was perhaps the most boring game the SNF has seen this season, and fans were quick to let the league know about it. Let's briefly go over the game again.

Joe Burrow can finally breathe a sigh of relief

Burrow faltered after the touchdown in the first quarter. Then the third quarter came and Tyrone Tracy Jr., the Giants RB, ran into the end zone for a 1-yard TD with 5:48 left. This came after Daniel Jones' failed attempt to throw a deep pass into the end zone.

As the score was tied in the third quarter, Cincy kicker Evan McPherson came into the game and knocked down a 37-yarder to give his team a 3-point lead. The Bengals were 10-7 at the time. Then, in the fourth quarter, the Cincy quarterback took the hit from Brian Burns. But it might have been worth it because when he returned, he saw Chase Brown seal the game and win MetLife 17-7.
