Joe Burrow did it again.

Thursday night, Burrow uplifted his Cincinnati Bengals to a big win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, putting up some gaudy stats and making a critical play late in the game.

With regulation nearly over, Burrow stood tall against a huge blitz and delivered a strike to C.J. Uzomah that put the offense in a position to kick the game-winning field goal.

And Burrow says that was all him making the check at the line of scrimmage, per the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Charlie Goldsmith:

“You guys have heard about me knowing the playbook in the back of my head. I knew the defensive coordinator had a Baltimore background… We took advantage of the opportunity.”

Zac Taylor concurs, per ESPN’s Ben Baby:

A former quarterback weighs in:

Again, not the first time Burrow has done this. During his team’s Week 1 victory over Minnesota, Burrow called and executed the play that set up the game-winning field goal.

After Thursday, Burrow’s Bengals are 3-1, atop the AFC North and competitive in any game because it’s clear they have one of the league’s top-end passers.
