Burrow missed roughing call in red zone; pattern of insufficient protection throughout career.

In the Bengals' 31-24 win over Miami, Burrow was hit well after releasing the ball on third down in the red zone—both defenders landed with full body weight—but officials missed the roughing the passer call. The source notes this is part of a pattern throughout Burrow's career: he receives fewer protection calls than other quarterbacks despite obvious hits, even as the NFL emphasizes roughing the passer enforcement. Burrow's helmet throw on the sideline reflected frustration over the missed flag that would have extended the drive.
