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.
If there is one thing about Allen's game I find a bit annoying it is the flops and acting. Same with Mahomes.
I like my QB and the way he goes about it. Old school, it isn't his fault the refs don't do their jobs. You shouldn't get calls for acting and flopping IMO.
Aikman like you said calling this out I hope helps.

But, maybe the offensive line needs to start reacting when their QB gets illegally abused, Afterall it is their fault the defense is in position to get at Joe in the first place. I know Joe is tough but he also has to be a better advocate for his own portection
Zac for sure needs to get more vocal for his QB, same with the OL, we need Whit types to fight for their guy.
I don't think it is in Joe to be that type of advocate for himself. He is a no nonsense tough sumbitch, just the way he is.
