Cincinnati Bengals left guard Michael Jordan told Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic that he was deeply affected by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's season-ending knee injury last November.
“I took it really personal,” Jordan said. “It took me about a week to get out of my own head.”
The Bengals were playing the Washington Football Team on November 22, 2020. In the third quarter, Burrow dropped back to pass, but the offensive line's protection faltered.
Washington defensive lineman Jonathan Allen beat Jordan and rolled into Burrow's left leg, causing the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner and NCAA national champion to fall sideways to the ground.
