'See Ya Next Year': Bengals' Joe Burrow Out for Season with Torn ACL, MCL

Joe Burrow's stellar rookie season came to a crushing end Sunday against the Washington Football Team. 

On third-and-2 in the third quarter, Burrow took a devastating hit to his left knee that resulted in a torn ACL, MCL and other structural damage. 

After being carted off, the first overall pick effectively ruled himself out by tweeting that he'll "see ya next year." 

Before taking the blow, Burrow completed 22-of-34 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown. He was also one of the favorites for the NFL Rookie of the Year.

In just 10 games, Burrow showed poise and accuracy that proved why he was the top selection out of LSU in the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow finishes his rookie campaign with nearly 2,700 yards passing, 13 touchdown passes and five interceptions. 

But the Bengals dangerously trotted out one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and it backfired all season as Burrow took multiple bone-crushing hits throughout the season. 

Second-year quarterback Ryan Finley will finish out the season under center for Cincinnati.
