Joe Burrow continues to do remarkable things despite his team’s rough 2024 season.
The Cincinnati Bengals were taking on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and their quarterback did something incredible to cap an eight-play, 99-yard drive.
With the score tied 0-0 in the first quarter, the Bengals had a first-and-goal from the 2-yard line as Burrow dropped back to pass but couldn’t find anyone open initially.
Once he started scrambling, he tripped and somehow spotted Tee Higgins open in the end zone.
While falling to the ground, Burrow finished his throw and release as the bottom half of his body was lying on the turf.
From a different angle, you can see Burrow was tripped by his own offensive lineman, as no Browns player got a hand on him. That means he was never down, and the play was legal.
A still shot from that play showed that Burrow looked even crazier as his own shadow began to look like the popular Muppets character, Kermit The Frog.

Burrow’s 252 yards and three scores were enough to get Cincinnati a 24-6 win against Cleveland.
Joe Burrow Can Stlll Lead Bengals To The Postseason
The Cincinnati Bengals did what they needed to do against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16 in order to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Burrow has the team with a 7-8 record. The Bengals have two games remaining on their regular season schedule.
The team does not control its destiny. The team needs to win out and also needs the Broncos to lose both of their remaining contests.
