Joe Burrow Made Sure His Rookie Receiver Got to Keep First Touchdown Ball

Joe Burrow made an important ball recovery for the Bengals on Sunday, but it didn't come after a fumble.

Facing Seattle, Burrow led the Cincinnati offense downfield for their second touchdown of the day at the start of the second quarter, connecting with rookie wide receiver Andrei Iosivas to extend their lead to take a 14-7 lead.

After the play, Burrow ran to secure the ball, Iosivas’s first career touchdown.

It was a great start to the day for Iosivas, who was celebrating his 24th birthday. His quarterback gave him a fantastic present.

Fans watching at home celebrated Burrow for his kind gesture.
