What a fucking joke. Good thing bengals played their starters in the preseason!

[Andrew Russell @Andrew_Russell7]

Joe Burrow's ranks vs pressure since 2021:

Passing Grade: 1st
Adjusted completion %: 1st
Passer Rating: 1st
Passing TDs: 2nd
Big Time Throw %: 4th
Times sacked: most in the NFL (25 more than any QB)

[Gridiron Grading @GridironGrading]

Joe Burrow vs. the Ravens in Week 10 —pressured on 48% of his dropbacks: 428 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs.

Mahomes was pressured on 47% of dropbacks in the first half against the Eagles. We saw how that looked.

Bengals fans have normalized Burrow magic in awful circumstances.

[Matt Edwards @MattEdwards]

Zac Taylor caught a lot of heat this year, and often deserved it, but since he took over the Bengals in 2019, Cincinnati has more playoff wins than the rest of the AFC North combined.

Bengals: 5
Ravens: 3
Browns: 1
Steelers: 0

Winning in the playoffs is hard.

[Brian Russ @brianruss01]

@landoneinck @zimwhodey This has nothing to do with the conversation. Original post is about playoff misses by QBs. Mahomes didn’t even play his rookie year and the team went 12-4. He was brought into a much better situation to start and there’s no denying that

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

🚨LEGENDARY: #Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase is the only player in #NFL HISTORY with 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns in a season.

🤯🤯🤯

Chase is having one of the greatest seasons ever. He is only 24 years old.

[mike @bengals_sans]

This throw on 3rd and 9 from Joe Burrow is fucking nuts

[John Breech @johnbreech]

There have only been TWO games in NFL history where a QB got sacked at least 7 times, but still managed to throw for 400+ yards with at least 3 TD passes and zero interceptions.

• Joe Burrow vs. Broncos
• Josh Allen vs. Seahawks (Nov. 8, 2020)
#Bengals

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

Just to contextualize what happened tonight, re: Burrow/MVP ...

With his season on the line, and faced with one of the best defenses in football, that sacked him seven times, Joe Burrow basically won the game 3 times for the Bengals (regulation, missed FG in OT, game-winner).

[Benjamin Solak @BenjaminSolak]

With 14 catches, 177 yards, and 2 scores, Ja'Marr Chase is the first receiver with a 10+, 175+, 2+ game since Ja'Marr Chase did it in Week 10 against the Ravens, who was the first receiver to do it since Ja'Marr Chase did it in Week 5 against the Ravens.

[Doug Clawson @doug_clawson]

Bengals losses this season
* 2 with 38+ pts (T-most by any team ever)
* 3 with 34+ pts (T-most by any team ever)
* 4 with 33+ pts (most by any team ever)
* 6 with 25+ pts (T-most by any team ever)

[Benjamin Allbright @AllbrightNFL]

Bengals have more losses (4) when scoring 30+ points than the rest of the league combined (3).

[Cincinnati 💔 @CincyProblems]

Just absurd... #pain

[Joel Moran @joelvmoran]

I’d argue the Bengals are situationally one of the worst teams in the NFL:

KC: Burrow fumble recovered for a TD
WAS: 2/4 in the redzone
BAL: Blew a 24-14 lead
BAL: Blew a 21-7 lead
LAC: Missed two FGs in the 4th quarter
PIT: Two turnovers in the 2nd half

7 one score losses. The most in the NFL.

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

The #Bengals have lost four games this season despite scoring 33+ points in those games.

That feels almost impossible.

[Jake Liscow @JakeLiscow]

The Bengals are 1-7 in 1-score games this year

They scored an average of 28.25 points per game in those games.

They scored 33 or more in 4 of them-3 in the division-losing all 4.

[Jacob Kaye @JacobKaye_]

Through the first 11 games, on the 4-7 Bengals, Joe Burrow has 3,028 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions.

Players to achieve 3,000+ passing yards, 27+ touchdowns, and 5 or fewer interceptions through the first 11 games, along with their team's final records:

- Tom Brady (2007, 2015): 16-0, 13-3
- Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2020): 15-1, 13-3
- Patrick Mahomes (2020): 14-2
- Drew Brees (2018): 13-3
