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.
He also ducks and covers well.
But sure, he was thinking "save my arm strength" as he tried to not get killed.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
