Nine sacks and still 350 yards. We know that he is physically tough. But how about mentally? Numbers from a story in The Athletic:
Only three of the nine sacks came on third down. And after the other six, Burrow dropped back to pass on the very next snap and went 6 for 6 for 52 yards.
Six times out of 6, he got back up and completed a pass on the next play. Unbelievable.
Here's another:
Four of the sacks came on drives that ended in points.
Sacks are often drive stoppers. Yet Burrow led us to scores on four possessions where he was sacked. In fact, the only exception was the final drive for the winning field goal.
How much courage does it take after a guy has been beat up all day to stand in the pocket and deliver? I don't even have the words for how special our QB is.
