Joe Burrow’s recovery, and seeing him back on the field for the Cincinnati Bengals after having turf toe surgery in September, is surreal. Burrow could've easily sat out the rest of the season to preserve his long-term future, but as Who Dey Nation and the rest of the NFL knows, he's not wired that way.
On the one hand, Burrow gives this team the best chance of winning, but why rush back to a losing season, where playoff chances are slim to none?
"For the love of the game" is the easy answer. However, Joe Brrr seems to be questioning that himself of late as the Bengals veer toward another irrelevant season.
