CINCINNATI—Wincing at the sound of the two palms coming into contact with each other, the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff reportedly held its breath Sunday after Joe Burrow endured a rough high-five from a teammate. “Oof, that looked like it hurt,” said commentator Ian Eagle, who narrated a replay of the congratulatory gesture showing the 27-year-old Bengals quarterback yelping, recoiling, and tumbling to the ground in pain, the skin of his hand visibly reddened. “That was absolutely brutal.
