Bengals: Analyst says there’s no reason to worry about Joe Burrow
“The reason I’m not concerned about Joe Burrow is because he played his worst game ever, doing something that he does best, his worst, and that’s seeing the field…That’s not the Joe Burrow I have seen for the first two years of his NFL career. That’s the Joe Burrow that really hasn’t played football in like eight months.”
Everything the Bengals Had To Say After Week 1 Against Pittsburgh
We had our chances. To lose the turnover battle five to nothing, to have kick operations ruined on two kicks that both would have won the game is disheartening in that way because I thought we would have handled those situations better. But I thought our guys really fought back and gave us a chance. I thought the defense played solid all day. We would have liked to get a turnover, but really they held them to 13 points until that last field goal. That's a pretty good day's work in the NFL. So, just didn't do enough as a team to overcome some of the adversity that we put ourselves in, didn't find a way to make a play at the end that would have won it, and that's life. We've got 16 more of these, and we'll turn around next week and start getting ready for Dallas and try to gain some momentum that way."
NFL Power Rankings, Week 2: Vikings, Dolphins climb; Packers, Raiders slip
The Bengals had no business beating the Steelers on Sunday. They also had no business losing to the Steelers on Sunday. It was a weird one. The 23-20 overtime defeat was as disappointing as it will ultimately be memorable -- Joe Burrow had a career-worst five turnovers, including four interceptions -- but was also set up to be the hero (along with Ja’Marr Chase, of course) had Evan McPherson received some help from the backup long snapper on gimme kicks late in regulation and overtime. Burrow's hot-and-cold performance isn’t a concern -- the offensive line is another story. Burrow (sacked seven times) continues to get hit; the Bengals continue to flirt with disaster.
