Burrow has been Cincinnati’s rock this season, and the man’s simply too talented. Aaron Rodgers acknowledged that on the Pat McAfee show, but also spilled some valuable advice for the quarterback. If I were Joe Burrow, I’d play close to attention to what 2020s MVP of the season had to say.

“I’m a Joe Burrow fan, I enjoy the way he goes about his business, I enjoy the way he plays with confidence. I will tell you the thing that I told him, which I’ve told other quarterbacks from time to time: Slide. Slide,” Rodgers said. “I said, ‘You’re too damn talented, you got so much in front of you to accomplish in this league, just sometimes you gotta slide.’ I would’ve told the same thing to Andrew (Luck).”

Rodgers even addressed claims of sliding being the less tough option. He cited Lamar Jackson, who doesn’t need to slide because he’s quicker than a gazelle. But for someone like Burrow, maybe sliding is the right choice. Rodgers said, “I don’t feel like sliding makes you less tough. It’s just sometimes the smarter thing to do.”

When can we expect Joe Burrow back?

A throat contusion is a serious injury that could shorten a player’s career. Joe Burrow threw two touchdowns, only to be negated by two interceptions, and that demanded a stronger performance by the former Player of the Week. He actually slid to get a first down in the third quarter while the Bengals were down 14-19.

However, if only he took Rodgers’ advice earlier. In the second quarter of the game, with the Packers leading 9-7, Burrow charged down midfield to pick up a first down. Unfortunately, he took a big hit from Packers’ safety Darnell Savage. Burrow hit the turf head first, and looked visibly dazed for the next few minutes.

He continued the rest of the game, which ended in heartbreak for the Bengals. But, the real problems arose after the game when Burrow’s teammates noticed he found it difficult to speak. Speculation of a throat contusion came up, which could rule Burrow out for weeks at the most.
