I was so incredibly wrong about this kid.
He puts in the work and know what it takes to to win. He doesn't dwell on mistake but he learns from them.
I firmly believe the work ethic he puts in the the effort you see him make on every single play has had a positive impact with his teammates and brought the best out of them.
Obviously the organization has surrounded him with talent built a good team for him but there is a lot to be said for how much team chemistry matter and how without it all the talent in the world can fail.
It's not as obvious with football but you can see it in the NBA. Every year some city tried to buy a championship. Sometimes team succeed, sometimes they fail. Some players bring out the best in each other and some the worst. It's not always true but it certainly helps.
Someones going to rattle off a list of exceptions now and thats fine. You have it your way. I for one and really happy to see this team having fun and giving each other credit for making block that opened up a TD or some other aspect of the game where their success was a byproduct of someone else's effort.
These guys want to win together and I think Burrows attitude and emotional maturity are a big part of that.
Yep, Mixon credited Chase with his touchdown, CJ credited Sample with his. Burrow always credits his line in front of him and the defense. It's never "All about me" from any of these guys.
