In case we’ve forgotten, John Ross started out last year with a bang. He had 22 receptions, for 270 yards and three touchdowns in the first two games of the season, including an electric 158-yard, two-score performance in a close contest vs. the Seattle Seahawks in the season opener.
But even when he was soaring, there were times when he simply wasn’t on the same page with former quarterback Andy Dalton. And, of course, he again got injured.
In comes Joe Burrow, an improvisation extraordinaire, leader, and overall accurate QB who can make every throw.
