On Saturday, during the Bengals’ intense game against the Steelers, Joe Burrow had a frightening encounter when he took a hard hit.

In the third quarter, he was sacked by two Steelers defenders, and the force of the impact sent his head slamming into the turf.

A chunk of turf even got stuck in the crown of his helmet, which only added to the intensity of the situation.

Burrow didn’t get up right away, prompting immediate medical attention.

He was soon escorted to the sidelines and into the medical tent for further evaluation.

Quick Recovery

Thankfully, Burrow was able to walk off the field under his own power and made his way to the blue medical tent.

After a brief check for a concussion, he was cleared and given the green light to return to the game.

This all happened in the midst of a third down play, with the Bengals punting shortly after the sack, so Burrow didn’t miss any actual game time.

Fans Question the Hit

The sack raised some eyebrows among fans, with many wondering whether it should have been called as roughing the passer.

One Twitter user even suggested that if this had been a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, the defenders would likely face a much harsher penalty.

Burrow’s Strong Performance Despite the Hit

Despite this scary moment, Joe Burrow continues to impress this season.

The Bengals, who entered the game with an 8-8 record, are still fighting for a postseason spot.

Burrow’s resilience was on full display after the hit when he led his team down the field on the next drive, helping them extend their lead with a field goal.
