Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow marched his team down the field for an opening-drive touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
In the process, he looked like the Burrow of old, which is exactly what fans hoped to see coming out of the bye after he had another week to rest that injured calf (that is reportedly 100 percent now, by the way).
And while the drive was impressive, it was a little Burrow magic in the way he escaped multiple sacks on one play that was downright stunning.
The escapes go down as one of the biggest wow-worthy plays of Burrow’s career and sure make it seem like that calf is 100 percent:
How did @JoeyB pull this off? 😮
