On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 34-20 in a game that was marred by the early exit of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow due to a wrist injury. Burrow, the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, had been having a strong season before the injury, throwing for 2,688 yards and 13 touchdowns in 10 games.
The injury occurred late in the third quarter when Burrow was sacked by Ravens defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. After the play, Burrow was seen shaking his left wrist and was later taken to the locker room for further evaluation. The Bengals later announced that Burrow had suffered a wrist injury and would not return to the game.
The loss of Burrow was a major blow to the Bengals, who had been relying on the rookie quarterback to lead them to their first playoff berth since 2015. With Burrow out of the game, the Ravens took advantage of their opportunity and scored 24 unanswered points to take a 34-20 victory.
The severity of Burrow’s injury is still unknown, but it is likely that he will miss some time. This is a major setback for the Bengals, who have been relying on Burrow to lead them to success this season. It remains to be seen how the team will respond without their star quarterback in the lineup.
The Ravens, meanwhile, will look to build on their victory and continue their push for a playoff berth. With Lamar Jackson leading the way, they have a good chance of making a deep run in the postseason.
Regardless of what happens in the future, Sunday’s game will be remembered for Joe Burrow’s injury and the Ravens’ victory. It was a heartbreaking moment for Bengals fans, but it also showed how quickly things can change in the NFL.
