From what a lot of the doctors were saying Burrow resting the calf wasn't going to make him heal any faster is why I was
for him playing. I was just shocked by how much that injury affected his accuracy, that was wild.

Been watching all NFL for around 4 decades now. Seen a thousand back ups come in, perform well then they are crowned. All great stories until reality comes in. For every Farve, Brady and Purdy, there is are dozens of Matt Cassels, Gradkowski, Minshew, Tebows. Lucky to get a Fitzpatrick, where the Magic disappears.
Had a good game, hoping he continues to light it up, but let's not go too crazy now over a single game.
Yeah, Browning needs to put back to back great games before we see if he is the answer or not. Good start though and it
was in Primetime which shows the lights aren't too big for him like they seemed to be for Dalton back in the day. Gave me
hope that we have a good backup though gotta say.
