Playing quarterback at any level is a constant process of learning and development. Making mistakes and using the information gained from those in future situations is how QBs get better. Seeing it happen over the course of a few plays is impressive from the most seasoned of veterans.
It’s almost unheard of when it happens with a rookie.
But that was the case on Thursday night with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Within the span of just a few plays against the Cleveland Browns, Burrow first misses an opportunity for a big completion downfield against a particular coverage, then comes right back for his first NFL touchdown pass against that same look:
Two throws from Joe Burrow on Thursday that should give Bengals fans even more hope:

Sure the Bengals are 0-2. But with a learning curve like this from their rookie quarterback, the wins are sure to follow.
