Joe Burrow, after dropping to 0-2 as a rookie in 2020: “I’ll never adjust or accept losing. That’s just something that’s not in my mindset.”
Joe Burrow, prior to his 2nd straight AFC Championship game: “I wouldn’t say it’s surreal. Winning is expected.”

Reporter: "Anything you learned about yourself as a quarterback while [Ja'Marr Chase] was out?"
Joe Burrow: "No, not particularly. I am who I thought I was." 😏
It's annoying how Joe Burrow's arm strength is discussed. Because he has two peers (Mahomes, Allen) with maybe the greatest arms in NFL history, Burrow is knocked for his physical tools. Don't get it twisted. Dude has a cannon. PS, the wrist seems fine!
Random thought: Pretty sure if Patrick Mahomes made this throw, it'd be considered the greatest throw in NFL history. Matthew Stafford doesn't get enough love, for this play or for just how good he is. The audacity to do this in the Super Bowl 😂😭
“Are you confident you’re still going to be that same, explosive receiver when you get ba—”
Ja’Marr Chase: “Hell yeah, man! I’m not even gonna let you finish that.” 😂
UNO is ready to roll bay-beeeeee
The Colorado Buffaloes football program may ultimately be a bunch of hot air and paper tiger vibes, but don't get it twisted: Shedeur is elite, and Travis Hunter is Himothy
Call him ZIMsider if the Tee Higgins extension breaks soon
@zimwhodey
I feel like even if Higgins' deal is already locked, the Bengals will announce Joe Burrow's first — if only for organizational/PR optics
That said, I'm getting HYPED. Say goodbye to Tee trade rumors

Brutal sequence for Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins on 4th and 1. Play clock resets, still can’t get it in on time to Skylar Thompson. There must be a better way to do this.

Been blogging for Barstool Sports for a year as of Thursday. Best job I've ever had and it ain't close. Thank you to everyone at the company who's supported me, and to those of you who've followed and read along. Belated TBT to my first post on the Bengals
Ivan Pace Jr. is a STUD 😳
The Vikings LB is reportedly "running" with the first-team defense.
Pace was ranked 71st on MY pre-draft big board but went undrafted, reportedly due to "concerns" about being "undersized"
Minnesota appears to have gotten a STEAL 👀
So you're telling me...not only is Joe Burrow healthy, but he just ran for the most yards he ever has in a single NFL game? AND he completed 28 of 32 passes? Hung 31 on an elite defense, on the road, with a fumble inside the 5 to halt another drive!? Oh we're cookin' now.
If you told me before I entered a world-class drama school that I'd be mentioned in passing in a Deadline story by 2023, I'd be over the moon. "What!? SWEET!!" Never would've imagined in a zillion years it'd be in this context 😂
As if this wasn't bad enough for the Bears, having Taylor Swift LFG'ing in your eye after a Travis Kelce TD rubs salt in the wound. Chiefs are ROLLING lolllllllll
This will be the best Bengals offensive line Joe Burrow has ever played behind. By far. Innate chemistry amongst the incumbents. Huge upgrade at left tackle in Orlando Brown Jr...Jonah Williams playing for his career. Teddy K getting me HYPED.

@HBFLIK
Not that it's his fault, but I suppose I considered Burrow's "peers" to be "quarterbacks who've actually won a playoff game" 😵 But yeah, his arm is on par with those other guys
Hear them Bengals growlin', mean and angry
Here he comes a prowlin', lean and hun-guh-ree
AN OFFENSIVE BRUTE. RUN PASS OR BOOT.
AND DEFENSIVELY HE'S ROUGH. TOUGH!
Cincinnati Bengalssssss
That's the team we're gonna cheer to victoryyyyy
Me trying to tell anyone who would listen before the NFL season how the Cincinnati Bengals would be an absolute FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH and would weaponize your "Super Bowl hangover" narrative against you. 🐅🐅🐅🐅
Wasn’t Shedeur Sanders awesome this past weekend? One year ago today, some writer already hashtag believed and knew he was the absolute truth. 👀 The criticism was I was shilling for Barstool since he is Deion’s son. 🧐
@ShedeurSanders
@everlytl
Haha I hope all of them. Gonna be chilly 🥶 seems like ideal conditions considering Bengals played with a nasty streak this past week on both sides of the LOS.
CJ Stroud is like a mashup of...
- Brock Purdy with a better arm
- Dak Prescott with better processing
- Jordan Love with much more consistent footwork
- Joe Burrow-esque pocket presence/intangibles/overcomes subpar protection
He's the truth. Congrats on the playoffs, Texans.

Trey Hendrickson gets slammed for alleged mop-up sacks on the Saints. Then goes to the Bengals, helps transform a defense to championship-level, AND puts up more sacks as the clear No. 1 pass-rushing threat. Yet he fell five spots on the top 100? Low for my taste but OK
#WhoDey
Imagine if Dawand Jones is the Bengals' pick at 28, is a hit, and La'el Collins returns to his original NFL position once he's healthy.
LT: Orlando Brown Jr.

Volson backup guard, Jonah swing tackle. LOL.

Man, Lou Anarumo to the Cardinals would break my heart. I think in the end they lean offense with Mike Kafka, plus his KC background, experience as a QB and what he did w/ Daniel Jones. Seems like that'd vibe more with Kyler.
At least that's what I'm telling myself 😂😂
Yep. I'm sure the Browns who've won ONCE in Week 1 since returning to the NFL in 1999 are about to rout Joe Burrow and the Bengals. 😉 Sharp bettors are all over CLE. Good luck with that. Do people not know Joe Woods is no longer the Browns' DC??
Joe Burrow? No setback. Ja’Marr Chase? Awake. The Bengals’ running game got some good chunk plays. Above all, that was a championship-caliber defensive performance. Masterfully called by Lou Anarumo. Week 4 at Tennessee. Gotten it done there before. More than once.

@BSSportsbook
: Carolina Panthers Over 7.5 Wins (+205).
In 2021:
- Ranked 2nd in total D with Sam/Cam/PJ at QB, 2nd-worst TO diff. & 5th-fewest takeaways
- 6 of 12 losses by 8 pts or less
Now have a healthy Baker + CMac (?), better o-line.
Rhule/McAdoo doubts aside, LET’S RIDE
DJ Reader is literally the only pending free agent the Bengals must keep. Like the one guy you cannot afford to lose. Now looks like a serious knee injury. Was Joe Burrow going down not enough for the football gods? This is like the worst injury season of all-time across the NFL
Shocking to see Joe Burrow light it up in a no-huddle uptempo situation I tell you just absolutely shocking. It's almost like the Bengals should, you know, do that more often
A fantasy football owner who I definitely have no connection to whatsoever drafted the following players this year:
- Ja'Marr Chase
- Elijah Mitchell
- Javonte Williams
- Breece Hall
- Cordarrelle Patterson
Joe Burrow is about to pull a Chad Pennington as 2x NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Is there even a doubt that he'll win in 2024? What would the early odds be? -850? -1000?

If you're into the NFL, J.T. O'Sullivan's breakdown of Justin Fields and the Bears' offense
@theqbschool
is equal parts illuminating and downright hilarious. Hearing an ex-pro QB be so baffled by what Chicago often does schematically is wild
The NFL has determined that the Bengals were in full compliance with league’s injury report policy when Joe Burrow suffered his season-ending wrist injury during a Thursday night game at Baltimore, as
@jjones9
reported. After its investigation, the league said were no violations.
