CINCINNATI — Bengals head coach Zac Taylor dropped a cool nugget behind Kwamie Lassiter II's first NFL catch this past Sunday. The practice-squad call-up got his NFL moment thanks to an audible from Joe Burrow.

It was Lassiter's first NFL grab against a team his late father played 10 years for.

"Burrow did that," Taylor said on Monday. "We had him in the game, but Burrow called the pass. It was a run. He tagged a run alert on there (pass audible). I didn't so credits really gotta go to Joe understanding a chance to get this guy his first catch and sometimes when you're in those four minutes situations, the DB is playing soft. Sometimes you just spit it out there to a one-on-one. Don't give me the credit on that one."

It's another example of Burrow thinking about every member of the team and leading by example. Lassiter got rewarded for all his practice squad work from the most well-known player on the team.
