There would have been no better way for him to begin his career than a come-from-behind game-winning drive in the final minute of a game.
It is amazing the difference one simple call can make.
Hopefully this opening day heartbreak will fade from our memory like the opening day loss to Denver in '09. That '09 team was coming off a 4 win season and losing like that on opening day seemed to be a sign the season was doomed from the start. But we turned it around and made the playoffs.
As much as it hurt to lose a game like that on Sunday we still have reasons to be positive about the season.
I agree with the sentiment of your post.
The silver lining I took from the game was Burrow owning all of it, even when excuses were Teed-up for him in post game and Monday after watching film. He owned it.
Him speaking aloud that the games come down to 2 or 3 plays and being conscious of that makes me feel good that the season will be one of ascension, which was my only want for a weird 2020: To end playing significantly better as the year moved forward.
