According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow exacerbated a knee injury against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Burrow, who threw for 446 yards and four touchdowns on 30-for-39 passing, was benched for the final two snaps of the Bengals’ 34–31 victory, while backup quarterback Brandon Allen entered the game.
Rapoport, on the other hand, reported on the NFL. Now that Burrow was aware that he would have to kneel due to a bad knee, he assured coach Zac Taylor that he could have returned to the game if necessary.
After two consecutive Chiefs penalties on fourth down kept Cincinnati’s winning drive alive, the Bengals won their first AFC North crown since 2015.
