Burrows Night expectations, setbacks and questions
When Cincinnati Bengals superstar quarterback Joe Burrow took the field, the stadium was buzzing with excitement’s. Burrow was expected to get the team back into preseason rhythm, but it was clear from the opening moments that the night was not going to be easy for him.
He was sacked twice, and both times the disappointment was evident on his face. At one point, he was sacked for a 17-yard loss while running backward. Cincinnati fans held their breath, wondering if their quarterback fit and ready.
Still, Burrow refused to give up proving his class and passion. He led two spectacular touchdown drives.
First chase brown ran a short run across the goal line, and then chrlie jones caught a 4-yard touchdown to give the team some relief.
But the truth was this was not the dominant burrow the world had come to see the stats say the same just 9 of 14 passes 62 yards

And Bengals fans had one thought: Have we found a new weapon for Joe Burrow?
Washington’s running game is storming even without Robinson
Another truth was laid bare Monday night: Washington’s running game is alive and well and looks more dangerous than ever. Deebo Samuel got things started with a 19-yard run on the very first play.
Then Charis Rodriguez Jr. stole the show with an explosive 40-yard run, and then Daniels finished it off with a 14-yard touchdown of his own Preseason games are often just trials, but this night taught both teams a lesson.
In just a few minutes, the commanders had put up 106 yards and 12 points, and veteran Austin Ekeler was standing on the Sideline watching with a smile. The message was clear, even with Brian Robinson, not around this running unit can surprise anyone.
The results question expectations and the season ahead
