Hello Bengals fans, and welcome to Chalk Talk.
This is the start of our 10-part series looking at each and every game Joe Burrow played in his rookie season. The good, the bad, the development over the course of the season.
In the season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 193 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception. He was sacked three times and ran the ball eight times for 46 yards, half of which came on his 23-yard touchdown run.
They did not really unleash Burrow in his first game, which makes sense, but he did show an excellent command of the offense.
