Logic isn't often in the Cincinnati Bengals' wheelhouse, but cooler heads prevailed when it came to the long-term future of Joe Cool for Week 12. That's because Joe Burrow ain't playing just yet as he continues to work back from his latest major injury.
Burrow will remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots due to a turf toe injury that he's way ahead on timeline-wise. In the meantime, Joe Flacco gets the starting nod until at least Thanksgiving Day.
If the Cincinnati coaching wasn't so adamant about playing rookies on defense, only to watch them single-handedly blow multiple games, perhaps fast-tracking Burrow would be wise.
