Joe Burrow to sit in Bengals’ preseason finale after controversial play sparked outrage
NY Post
Joe Burrow won’t be running for his life this week.
The Bengals’ star quarterback will not play in the third and final preseason game Saturday against the Colts following the polarizing decision to play Burrow for three drives in the second game Monday.
Burrow left himself exposed while trying to scramble on one play, and three Commanders players sacked him in a vicious hit that had some fans questioning the team’s decision.
“I’m not anticipating any starters playing,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday.
“I haven’t talked in depth with the players about this third game. I’ve talked to Joe, I haven’t specifically told these guys they’re not playing, but they’re not playing.”
Taylor opted to change Cincinnati’s preseason plan this year after the team started 0-2 in each of the last three seasons, which has led to two straight years without postseason play.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
