Joe Burrow has had a memorable but forgettable opening game of the 2022 season.
The 6-4, 215-pound quarterback, who’s in his 3rd season with Cincinnati, has turned the ball over 5 times, but he tossed a 6-yard TD pass to Ja’Marr Chase with 1 second remaining to tie the game and force overtime against Pittsburgh.
