I didn't like the two announcers saying it was not really roughing the passer when Burrow was tossed on his head. I winced at the replay, thinking Burrow could have easily had a concussion or badly hurt his neck. So, I didn't get the perspective that it wasn't roughing because the player hadn't landed with his weight on Burrow.

I didn't like it either.  But honestly I remember players taking hits like that routinely in Chris' day, and receivers were routinely lit up.   It is a different league.


But the rules are the rules.  And I do not understand why Burrow - as chill and non-whiney as he is - gets a lot of egregious calls overlooked.   I am starting tow worry about his old age and the likelihood of him having major issues with CTE
