The Bengals offense can't wake up as Cowboys get a last second win
ARLINGTON, Texas –– On a third down early in the game on Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow made a call at the line of scrimmage to add an extra blocker right in front of him.
When Burrow snapped the ball, there was no one blocking one of the NFL’s best pass rushers, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. He sprinted around the edge and hit Burrow before Burrow even had a chance to look at a wide receiver.
If you give Parsons a free path to Burrow, it doesn’t matter how dynamic your quarterback is. It doesn’t matter if you have the best wide receiver trio in the NFL. It doesn’t matter if you have the perfectly designed play down the field.
