Finally, a compelling matchup came to Thursday Night Football as the Cincinnati Bengals dueled with the Baltimore Ravens for a foothold in the highly competitive AFC North.
The game may as well have been called a TKO in favor of Baltimore. By halftime, Bengals starting quarterback Joe Burrow was sidelined with a developing wrist injury. “Developing,” here meaning there was footage of Burrow wearing a brace in the day leading into the game, but he was not on the injury report with a wrist issue.
Twitter was full of takes and responses when Burrow left the game. Here are some of the best.

The @PrimeVideo broadcast showed this video of #Bengals QB Joe Burrow getting off the team bus with a brace/wrap around his right wrist and thumb.
Burrow wasn't on the injury report. Now he's questionable with a right wrist injury. Jake Browning is in. pic.twitter.com/6ozbQ2SX1k

Nestor: The Baltimore Ravens are up 11 points at home at halftime and Joe Burrow can’t grip a football. They better not lose to the Cincinnati Bengals tonight…

If Joe Burrow is out for longer than this game, I don't think Bengals – Jags is staying on Monday Night Football.
The NFL hasn't given the Jags a Sunday Night or Monday Night game in over a decade. If they're facing Jake Browning instead of Burrow, they're gonna flex that game.

The Bengals are obviously going to miss Joe Burrow, but Jake Browning's managed the game well for Cincy so far.

The Bengals simply aren’t a factor without Joe Burrow.
Zac Taylor is not Kevin Stefanski & their roster isn’t as complete. #DawgPound

I dropped CJ Stroud because I have Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson. A week later they’re both hurt. Unreal.
