Hate to say it, but Burrow was the #1 culprit today.  

The Bengals had all the momentum with the late first half score and Hendrickson sacking Rodgers to snuff out any chance of an answer, and he killed it with the first pick.  It looked like a gimmick play out of the heavy with Prince lined up as the left boundary WR, likely trying to fool GB into thinking it was going to be a screen to the left while running a flood to the right.  GB wasn't fooled at all and he forced a bad throw instead giving up on it and living to fight another down.  

The OT pick should have ended it, and it was terrible.  Boyd saw the LB and sat down in the zone and Joe just threw it like he expected him to keep crossing.  And Boyd was blanketed.  There was no reason for him to be getting the ball in that situation.

Joe's still going to be a great one for a long time, but those are the kinds of mistakes young QB's make.
