Ignoring all the content, he played phenomenally... incredibly accurate (I think they quoted 2nd all time franchise, for a QB with out 20 attempts), 3 TDs, no picks and made big plays with his legs.
Including the context... I mean, he looked pretty back to me guys. Pre-Bye Burrow was awful at times, and while he was improving, he wasn't quite there. He was there today and was elite. It was the best case scenario, our QB is fit again, and that lifts the ceiling on our season hopes.
Agree here. What I saw was that Burrow was getting rocked on some plays, then just popped up like it was no big deal and made a huge play next opportunity. He just seemed more durable overall which is a great comfort over when I was praying that any of the most minimal contact might spell disaster early on.
And now we got two halves of prime Burrow versus just one (as with Seattle). So many questions got answered today and while it was just one game it was a damned important one.
