Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow revealed on Sunday night after beating the Baltimore Ravens that there's one thing you won't be seeing him do on the football field anytime soon.
First, let's go back to how the Bengals beat the Ravens.
With the game tied at 17 late in the fourth quarter, Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley attempted to score by trying to reach the ball over the goal line. It's a move that we used to see Cam Newton pull off all the time with the Carolina Panthers.
Cam, however, is 6-foot-5. Huntley is 6-foot-1 and couldn't quite reach far enough to break the plane. As a result, the ball ended up being knocked out of his hands and returned 99 yards by Bengals defensive lineman Sam Hubbard for what eventually became the game-winning touchdown.
After the game, Burrow told reporters that he hadn't actually seen the fumble yet, just the return.
Burrow, who is 6-foot-4, was then asked if he's ever attempted the same play.
His response?
“I have not. And I don’t plan on it.”
That's probably a wise choice — it's an incredibly risky play and the Bengals' offense is good enough that they have other options.
Of course, this could just be Burrow trying to throw other teams off what they might try in that situation. Maybe some gamesmanship for the cerebral quarterback who is always looking for an edge.
Either way, it was a great answer from Burrow after yet another thrilling playoff win.
