How Joe Burrow reacted to the first tie of his football career
The good news: Joe Burrow wasn’t on the losing end of his team’s game for the first time this season. The bad news: Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals remain winless.
Thanks to NFL overtime, Burrow’s record is a starting quarterback is now 0-2-1. In Sunday’s Cincinnati-Philadelphia game, the score remained 23-23 at the end of the 15-minute overtime period, resulting in a tie for the Eagles and Burrow’s Bengals.
As one would expect, Burrow was asked if he had ever been part of a game that ended in a tie. Spoiler alert: Burrow isn’t satisfied with simply not losing.
“No. This is a loss to me. We didn’t win,” Burrow told reporters, per ESPN’s Ben Baby.
Burrow had a strong outing in the tie, going 31-of-44 passing for 312 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The Heisman Trophy winner from LSU will try to get his first NFL win on Oct. 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Curse of Orgeron manifests itself in a myriad of ways.
This is good stuff, please continue.
Burrow was a beast and we paid him so much $$ specifically because he seemed to be impervious to The Curse and carried us with him.
But now The Curse of Orgeron has been refreshed and embellished. It not only has followed him to the NFL, it has permeated our program as well as our basketball brothers.
We let Miss St. set an SEC record on us and the season has just got started.
We are winless at 0-1, reality is setting in for some and we have nothing to look forward to except more angry posts from our fans denying the existence of The Curse of Orgeron in the face of all relevant facts.
Ties are for people who just hope both teams have fun. If I wanted to see a tie, id watch soccer.
… or for the desperately losing.
He’s played well enough for the tm to be 3-0. Would’ve won the first gm if they had a kicker. Would be 2-0 if the Def could’ve gotten 1 stop. Played well enough to beat the Eagles outplaying their SB QB. I’ll be pulling for them to beat the Jags. I think they will.
