Most of it comes down the offensive side of the ball too thanks to Joe Burrow’s sudden resurgence (and his wild-looking outfit with a fun story attached to it).

It turns out Zac Taylor was hoping Burrow would throw the ball away on a busted play on Sunday — and it was one he ended up throwing for a touchdown: “I can’t tell you how many times on the headset we said throw the ball away on his touchdown to Ja’Marr there on the goal line. We said it a lot. Those two just found a way to make a play and the line held the guys off of him. It was good to see him move around today.”
