Despite being questionable all week heading into the Bengals–Rams Monday night game, Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow suited up and played with a calf injury and led the team to its first win of the season.
Burrow’s performance and willingness to “play through the pain” really impressed Aaron Rodgers, who’s currently out for the season after tearing his Achilles during the Jets’ first game.
Rodgers went so far as to text Burrow after the Bengals’ 19–16 win on Monday night, the quarterback said on the The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
