The Bengals quarterback then immediately hit Ja'Marr Chase for a 70-yard touchdown pass.

Joe Burrow is one tough cat, and it's extremely impressive that he was able to shake off that hit and come right back in and make a big play. Cincinnati is trying to move to 4-1 on the season with Burrow at the helm, and he's going to need to be at his best to outduel Aaron Rodgers.

Burrow is having an excellent start to his second Bengals second after missing the end of last season with a torn ACL. He's showing why he was the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Entering Sunday's game, he had a quarterback rating of nearly 114, and his first-half numbers against Green Bay were similar.
