Joe Burrow set tongues wagging after taking a sack against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. And he appeared to get called out by a teammate.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was contained in a bad spot, pushing his team out of field goal range.
He seemed indifferent as he walked over to the bench, with center Ted Karras appearing to snap at him.
Check him out in the video below:

“He has cost his team 6 potential points already after that disaster of a 4th quarter against Buffalo. Yep that can’t be fun,” said a third.

The Bengals were down 14-0 in the third quarter at the time of writing. On one hand, they’re only down two scores. On the other hand, Joe Burrow doesn’t appear like a man who could inspire much confidence at the moment.
He had thrown 10-for-20, passing for 109 yards and one interception at the 10:56 minute mark in the third period.
