Joe needed to step up in the pocket, so that sack was on both of them; as has been mentioned numerous times, if you block the guys 10 feet out of the play, but the QB is right there with you, there's not much you can do to continue to block them, outside of hold them (Odom got his sack against Joe Thomas in '09 the same way; he bullrushed Thomas like 3-5 yards behind the LOS, but Derek Anderson just sat there and Odom had to literally take two steps to his left). If Nwosu was able to wrap up Joe, then Jonah didn't do a good job, but the fact that he was ran upfield getting blocked and had to have an outstretched finger touch the ball at the precise moment, tells me that Joe needed to step up more in the pocket.
2. The finger got dislocated on the play Burrow ran it in to the endzone; sounds ridiculous, but I think it was a Hill snap that dislocated it.
Totally agree on Burrow needing to step up in the pocket. Normally he's pretty good at that. Still young, though. Burrow came out and said his pinky got dislocated on the strip sack, but that with the adrenaline he didn't feel it til that run to the end zone. Weird. I knew something was up when he was motioning everyone to stay off him after he scored. ugh!
The good news is this game didn't end our season, and some of our rooks are getting some playtime which is a good thing.
