Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sat stone-faced, his left leg stretched out, as teammates and opponents congregated around the medical cart.

Get well,” said Washington defensive end Chase Young, who played with Burrow at Ohio State.

The offensive rookie of the year favorite was the latest injury in a brutal year for quarterbacks.

At FedEx Field, Burrow was the third passer to suffer a serious injury in the last month alone, joining Washington’s Kyle Allen (ankle) and the Dallas Cowboys’ Andy Dalton (concussion).

For Alex Smith, the quarterback who beat the Bengals, it was his first win since he suffered a gruesome right leg injury on this field two Novembers ago.

After the game, Taylor maintained he couldn’t have done anything different to better protect Burrow on the play.

The Bengals have struggled to protect Burrow all year.

After the injury, players “were a little shook, to be honest,” Bengals backup quarterback Ryan Finley said.

Players and coaches acknowledged the game’s tone shifted after the injury, and Washington capitalized in the win.

Washington Coach Ron Rivera began his postgame news conference by praising Burrow as “a heck of a young man and a heck of a football player.” Washington was particularly affected by Burrow’s injury because three players — wide receiver Terry McLaurin, quarterback Dwayne Haskins and Young — played with Burrow at Ohio State before he transferred to LSU.

“I wanted to keep playing against Joe,” said Young, who forced a fumble by Burrow on a crushing hit earlier in the game.
