SAD NEWS: Cincinnati Bengals announced that Joe Burrow is Leaving immediately after Facing…..

The Cincinnati Bengals offensive line only allowed quarterback Joe Burrow to be sacked one time Sunday afternoon during the team’s 41-24 win against the Las Vegas Raiders.

But they appeared to fail him at least one other time.

One the first play after the 2:00 warning in the first half, Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby jumped offsides and headed unabated toward Burrow, blasting him to the ground.

After the hit, none of the Cincinnati offensive linemen confronted him.

“That’s one of my regrets from the game,” center and team captain Ted Karras said.

“We probably should’ve done a little more of a scene.

But really, we were just trying to make sure Joe was OK, and then Joe popped up and was smiling.

“After it was over, everybody was like ‘OK, it’s all right,'” Karras added. “But I’m sure we’ll probably take a little heat on Twitter for it.”

Cody Ford took a step toward Crosby but peeled off, and Karras took more than a couple of steps.

Mims was the furthest away, having watched Crosby run around him before the ball was snapped.

“I was surprised he didn’t get kicked out,” Mims said.

It was an odd play, which seemed to sort of mitigate any animosity toward Crosby.

The officials never blew their whistle, which they typically do when it’s a situation where a defender is unabated to the quarterback.

And usually the referee will run in and get in front of the quarterback in those situations.
