Burrow to the Hospital

We all know it's not life threatening or anything. He literally did peak-level athleticism for 2+ hours afterwards. So it is either nothing bad, or Taylor and the Bengals are guilty of trying to literally kill Joe Burrow. I'm leaning towards the former.

Note nobody is making any jokes about Evans.

I didn't make any Burrow jokes, but I am not going to act morally indignant about them either.

We actually don't know when he got the throat injury.  I saw a report that said it happened towards the end of the game.  Injured throats can absolutely be life-threatening.  There could be serious injuries to the trachea or esophagus that aren't immediately apparent.  
If he is lucky it is nothing more than a bruise but don't automatically assume that just because he walked off the field that he wasn't dealing with a potentially serious injury.
Throat injuries are ones you don't fool around with.
