Following the 2021-22 season, fans of the Cincinnati Bengals were convinced; Joe Burrow is capable of doing everything necessary to win in the biggest games.

Now, after an amazing season in which he had to constantly overcome a weak defense, Burrow is getting recognized by just about everyone for his heroic performances.
So despite never winning the big one, Burrow doesn’t have as much pressure on him to win his first championship championship as some other elite QBs, according CBS’ Jeff Kerr.
The Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, The Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, and the Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff still have more to prove, according to Kerr.
Here’s an excerpt from his article:
Burrow has completed 69.2% of his passes and thrown 58 touchdowns to just 15 interceptions over the past two seasons. He’s third in the league in completion rate, fourth in touchdown passes, fifth in touchdown rate (5.7%), and fourth in passer rating (102.2).
Meanwhile, the writer pointed out, “The 2024 Bengals allowed the most points per game in losses in NFL history (27.8), and had six losses with 25+ points last season.”
But that didn’t stop Burrow from taking the offense to new heights. Kerr pointed out that Burrow was only the third QB in history with over 40+ passing touchdowns to miss the playoffs.
So what do you think?
