No, this isn’t about the pass-blocking struggles of the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line in front of Joe Burrow. It’s about the complete lack of fire from an offensive line that watches its quarterback get mauled — even after whistles — and just trots back to the next huddle for another play.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was hit, hit and hit some more in Thursday night's 35-34 loss to the Ravens. Baltimore had plenty of clean hits on the star signal-caller, but they also got away with a few late hits that should've been penalties,

After Burrow threw a touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase with 38 seconds to play to cut Baltimore's lead to 35-34, the Bengals kept the offense on the field for a go-ahead two-point try. Burrow's pass to Tanner Hudson fell incomplete and allowed Baltimore to hang on, albeit with some controversy.

The late hit on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow by Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby has resulted in a fine. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the NFL hit Crosby with an $11,255 fine due to unnecessary roughness for hitting Burrow after a whistle. The foul occurred during Cincinnati’s Week 9, 41-24 win over the Raiders.
