Joe Burrow ready to add missing ingredient to his Bengals show
NY Post
Joe Burrow is feeling nothing but confident going into the 2025 season.
After a disappointing 2024 that saw the Bengals miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year, Burrow is out to prove everyone wrong — that he is above the rest and can deliver a championship to Cincinnati.
“I’m not sure I would say anyone is playing the position better than I am right now,” Burrow told Sports Illustrated. “I’m pretty confident in my ability to go out and do that every Sunday. Now, it’s just showing that consistency, showing it year in and year out. I think what separates the legends is being able to do it year in, year out for five, 10 years at a time.
“So, trying to be able to find that consistency in my discipline and my process, doing the easy stuff in my sleep and then making the hard stuff look easy, then making a couple of great plays here and there, that’s what I am trying to do every week.”
Consistency has been difficult for the quarterback to find in his five-year career.
His rookie season in 2020 was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic and a torn ACL. The year after, Burrow had a dislocated pinky finger and in the waning moments of the Super Bowl, an MCL sprain.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
