CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow did something on Sunday Night Football he's never pulled off in the NFL: Score on a scramble from midfield. It took his underrated athleticism and vaunted football mind to pull it off.

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky had some glowing comments for Burrow surrounding the 47-yard play. The analyst noted how fast Burrow realized it was strict man coverage from New York, with no one accounting for the quarterback.

"He doesn't even get to the top of his drop—look how quickly it triggers for him," Orlovsky noted on X. "This isn't a designed QB run— this is Joe just being so aware of what the defense is trying to do versus him and realizing that was the only guy that had responsibility for him and he's already trigger rushed, 'I'm gone.'"

It ended up being Burrow's longest NFL run and a crucial play towards getting Cincinnati to 2-4 on the season. Check out the full breakdown from Orlovsky:

This is so good
So impressive by Burrow
