Thursday Night Football was as high leverage of a game as you can get in the NFL this season with both the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals jockeying for position in the AFC, but the Bengals off the pace and needing as many wins to secure playoff positioning.
However, after a second quarter touchdown pass, Joe Burrow grimaced in pain and exited the game with what is now being diagnosed as a sprained wrist, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow was replaced by Jake Browning and the Bengals lost in Baltimore 27-13, sending the team's playoff odds into flux.
