The Cincinnati Bengals were pumped up seeing the confidence of Joe Burrow ahead of the 2024 season, however, it all came crashing down with a three-game losing streak. But that hasn’t shaken the star quarterback’s confidence; he is aiming for perfection as he moves forward.
After defeating the Carolina Panthers in week 4, they logged their first win of the season. Now, as they prepare for the upcoming match against the Baltimore Ravens– Burrow knows how crucial it is for them to secure a victory. He recently opened up about the high expectations set for himself and the team facing the first AFC North showdown.
You’ve got to be aggressive out of the gate. You can’t let the game come to you because your possessions are going to be so limited. I’m going to have to play damn near perfect. It’s a big game. We know what our record is. We know the opportunities we have going forward, but it’s our first divisional opponent. We’re 1–3, we need to get this one. It’s a big game for the Bengals.
Joe Burrow said on Wednesday ahead of week 5 matchup
Since Burrow injured his wrist last season, the Bengals haven’t been able to claim their contender status within the division. This time, they are at the advantage of the home game against the divisional rivals; losing this wouldn’t simply throw them at 1-4 but jeopardize their chances of making the playoffs.
Joe Burrow sets high standards for Bengals’ offense moving forward
At present, the Pro Bowler signal-caller believes the Bengals’ offense is stable and they need to be consistent with the performance in the future. Burrow believes the team’s success in reaching the playoffs hinges on having a locker room with a shared mindset for the goal.
We’re confident in our group. We’re rolling on offense. We’re going to continue to chase perfection, try to score on every drive. We have to do a better job of hitting our explosives when opportunities present themselves because, against this group, they don’t give up explosive plays like that.
Joe Burrow said about the offensive line
Burrow is focusing entirely upon leading the team to victories, rather than his individual stats. He further said that the upcoming match is a big opportunity for the Bengals to showcase their prowess and put the team in the “best position play-in and play-out,” in order to, succeed with the best results.
