Why: Lost 20-9 to Washington Football Team, QB Joe Burrow suffers season-ending knee injury
This is one of the reasons why Miami shouldn’t feel any remorse about pulling Tua Tagovailoa late in the game against the Broncos. Whatever the game plan was supposed to be, it wasn’t working. And Tagovailoa, a young quarterback, was taking hits at a rate we have yet to see this season — and at a rate that Joe Burrow had been taking hits in just about every game they’ve played this year. And it finally bit the Bengals, who saw their young star quarterback carted off the field and already shifting his eyes to 2021. That’s way more painful than any loss of a game.
