Dianna Russini of The Athletic recently asked a source close to Joe Burrow if Burrow was as healthy as he was at the end of last season, when the Bengals’ season ended in the AFC Championship Game. Answer:
“Yes. Joe is 100 percent. He has no exercise restrictions or calf pain.
This prediction will be sweet music to the ears of Cincinnati Bengals fans, who have seen their team’s offense crumble, likely due to its ability to scramble, get inside Burrow’s pocket or game extension being limited. The first time all season, the Bengals actually looked like the Bengals we expected them to be three weeks ago, when Burrow connected with his former favorite LSU target, Ja’Marr Chase, 15 times in 192 yards and three touchdowns in a must-win first game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow have a much more difficult task this week.
, a talented and sharp 49ers defense was outplayed by Kirk Cousins ​​and the Justin Jefferson-less Minnesota Vikings in primetime Listen Monday, two weeks ago. If Burrow looks like Vintage Joe Burrow against one of the best teams in the NFC, the rest of the NFL will be forced to take note of what’s happening in the woods.

That said, Cincinnati has a packed schedule coming up between now and mid-December. The next time the Bengals face an opponent with a sub-.500 record will be December 10, when they host the Indianapolis Colts. 3-4.
