Burrow getting maimed all the time and not getting calls. It would be different if they missed it a few times here and there but Joe never
gets the call and he never complains. I respect Joe a bunch for this, but others, namely the refs need to be accountable.
I just watched a highlight reel of Josh Allen's flops to get calls, where the smallest contact draws an exaggerated response -- falling down, flailing with his arms, etc. I'm glad that Burrow has more integrity for the game and himself to not do that. But if Burrow is going to not complain and exaggerate hits, and instead shows respect for the game and his opponents, then someone else needs to stand up for him. Maybe now with Aikman calling them out it will get some traction.
