I already consider that game a win.
It wasn't just one penalty...therewas a messed up route, a ba thow a stupid turnover a fumbled rush, a couple of poor decisions.....but with all that they still almost won and aside from a fluke missed kick we would have won in OT. the team turned a corner with that 2 minute drive....you could see it. The offence suddenly clicked.
Big Joe was fire on that game(almost) winning drive and the team felt it.you could see the way they played....it felt like they were gonna win.
the penalty call was BS in my honest opinion. did he push off a bit, was it "legal"? No. Was it really worth a call? I still don't think so.
either way I feel like Jo was able to get his butterflies and nerves and "goshI'm in the NFL" feelings out of the way, and then just enforce his will all over the field at the end. I said it as they were systematically moving the chains down the field that "win or lose this drive is way Burrow and the bengals will look like and it's amazing!"
This was in many ways a preseason game and everyone including Burro looked a little rusty, and Burrow was nervous I think. with the quality pass rush it was hard for hm to get his rhythm. then in the 4th e seemed to find it.
Now the team are a little pissed and ready to kick ass!
