Burrow did it with public pressure about the Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins contract extensions not all that long ago. And now he’s doing it again ahead of final cuts as the Bengals formulate the final 53-man roster after Mitchell Tinsley’s two-touchdown breakout in the preseason Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders.

With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow has a pair of standout receivers to target in the passing game. But the quarterback is backing another player that is fighting for a roster spot, one who put on a show Monday night against the Washington Commanders.

The quarterback played 24 snaps in Monday's win over the Commanders, expressing satisfaction with protection and Cincinnati's efficient running game.

A couple of receivers make strong cases while the starting defense is once again woeful in 31-17 win over the Commanders.

Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks from LSU, headlined the “Monday Night Football” matchup in the second preseason game for each team.

See how Joe Burrow, Mitchell Tinsley and the rest of the Bengals offense played in the preseason on Monday night vs. the Commanders.
