NFL Trade Rumors
Bengals QB Joe Burrow says he felt good in his return, throwing two touchdowns in his first game back from foot surgery.
“There’s no better feeling than that — putting in work for a long time and going out and it paying off,” Burrow said, via Ben Baby of ESPN. “The whole first half, my feet were a little antsy back there. In the second half, I felt a lot more comfortable [and] started putting them where I wanted to.”
“I was a little more mobile than I expected to be to be honest, so that felt good,” Burrow added. “We got a good system on the sideline of changing shoes out and doing what I need to do to stay fresh, so we’ll continue to do that. [It] hasn’t been easy on me through six years from a lot of different angles, but I’ve worked really hard to put myself in a position to be back out there. And a lot of people around me have done the same. There’s been a lot of discussion and a lot of time in the training room, and just a lot that has gone into this. And I’m proud to be back.”
Browns DE Myles Garrett currently has 18 sacks and needs five more in six weeks to break the NFL’s record for most in a single season, held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.
Garrett said that he has already envisioned breaking the record and plans to continue going out there and doing what he does best to see just how many sacks he ends up with.
“I don’t even think about it as a want — I just think about something that I’m going to knock down,” Garrett said, via Joe Reedy of the Associated Press. “It’s already been written in my mind that it’s going just how far I’m going to take it. So, just going to go out there and do what I do, and whatever number I end up at.”
