'He’s one of the true young flag bearers of our league' Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel praises the play of Bengals QB Joe Burrow heading into Thursday night showdown, writes LorenzoGReyes
Burrow, 25, has gotten off to a slower start this season, completing 64% of his passes for 812 yards with six touchdowns versus four interceptions. He has been sacked 15 times, which leads the NFL, and the Bengals dropped their first two games of the season before aLast season, Burrow led the league with a 70.4% completion rate and threw for 4,611 yards with 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His protection was an issue last season as well, however, as he was sacked an NFL-high 51 times.
"The guy has great vision and awareness," McDaniel continued."He’s very mobile both within the pocket staying a passer and escaping to run. Great touch. Great accuracy. And he not only makes plays for their offense, but he helps other players make plays because of his ball location. So he’s one of the true young flag bearers of our league that does a great job and it’s a tremendous challenge for our defense to go out there and face him really.
Burrow won't be the only prominent, young passer playing Thursday night. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa has emerged as a breakout candidate early this season, ranking second in the NFL in QB rating and has thrown for 925 yards — second-most in the league — with eight touchdowns.
