The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Washington Commanders in the team's second preseason game on Monday night. Despite the result, coach Zac Taylor justified the decision to play his starting quarterback during the preseason.
Joe Burrow started his second straight preseason game and took the field for the team's first three possessions. During Cincinnati's second possession Burrow was taken down with a horse-collar tackle and sacked. ESPN's Marcus Spears called out Taylor during halftime for putting his quarterback in harm's way.
