Joe Cool himself might have skipped a beat when he might have felt the pain. Even the on-looking Burrow family and his girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher were in tears after seeing him go down.

QB Joe Burrow has been an important player for the Bengals offense during their entire season. He has led the charge from the front and has been the calming leader within the team. They entered Super Bowl LVI as the underdogs but have given a more than a respectable showing of their abilities. It will be tough for the Bengals to maintain their 20-16 lead without Burrow in the pocket.

Another dynamic that gets affected is the one between Burrow and his WR Ja’Marr Chase that will not be as effective. The chemistry between the Bengals’ dynamic duo has been a big reason for the way their season sky-rocketed. Without even one of them, the Bengals’ offense doesn’t look as good or challenging against the Rams‘ defense.
