Joe was sacked 9 times officially and had 2 more wiped out by penalty/time out.  A lot of people were saying "Throw the ball away!!" but if he slings his arm to throw all those away that is another 11 tosses.  Joe knew it was better to take the sacks and save his arm strength.  If he had thrown the ball away all those times to avoid sacks then he might not have had the juice left to throw that strike to Ja'Marr to set up the game winner.

He sees angles we don't even think about.

I have a rock. Can I play, too? 

I think Burrow getting sacked was his legal way of taunting.

Joe: "Good one! Ya got me! Oh wait, look! Is that the scoreboard?"
