NASHVILLE, Tenn. –– As Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow rolled out of the pocket late in the second quarter on Sunday, he saw a winnable matchup. He kept his eyes down the field, watched his target cut past a linebacker and gave him a chance to make a leaping grab inside the red zone.
Bengals fourth-string running back Trayveon Williams, who didn’t have a catch all season, reeled the ball in.
On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, as the Bengals won 20-16, at Nissan Stadium, Burrow had less to work with than ever before in the NFL.
