Joe Burrow may have played through rib injury in National Championship

Joe Burrow took a big hit throwing a touchdown just before the half, possibly injuring his ribs.

ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported that Joe Burrow was “gasping” as he left the field at halftime.

“He could not catch his breath,” she said on ESPN Radio at halftime. “I overheard him say to somebody, ‘I hope I didn’t break a rib.'”
