CINCINNATI — After missing two months due to injury, Joe Burrow finally made his return to the field on Thursday night and he stole the show in Baltimore. The Bengals quarterback threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns in a shocking 32-14 win over the Ravens.
It was such a dominant win that the rest of the Bengals’ season just got very interesting.
At 4-8, the Bengals’ playoff hopes are on life support, but if anyone can save the team it’s Burrow. The Bengals quarterback has now gone almost a full year without losing a game. Since Week 14 of the 2024 season, the Bengals have gone 8-0 with Burrow as their starter, including Thursday’s win over the Ravens.
If that run can continue, Cincinnati could end up pulling off one of the most improbable playoff berths in NFL history. With just five games left to play in the season, Burrow fully realizes that there’s no margin for error going forward.
