Meanwhile, a fan criticized his performance against the Ravens, as they were playing their 3rd string team.
He threw for barely over 200 yards against a Baltimore defense playing their 3rd string CB. 🤡

One more fan took a dig at his ‘window open’ statement regarding their cap space.
It’s closing faster then he thinks. When he extends that cap shrinks and the talent around him shrinks like the Packers

Another fan took a dig at his dressing sense.
The most confident part is saying it in a white cashmere turtleneck.

Meanwhile, one fan praised him for showing confidence.
Same, Would love to have a franchise QB with Burrow's confidence and swagger.

It is worth noting that Burrow joined the Bengals in the 2020 season. A year later, he became a starter for the team, and the Bengals clinched the AFC North title now in two consecutive seasons. Moreover, under Burrow’s leadership, they reached the Super Bowl last season. Although many believed it was a fluke run in the previous year, this year’s performance from Burrow is undoubtedly not a fluke.

The Bengals will play the Ravens once again
In the wild-card round, the Bengals will play against the Ravens once again in a week’s time. So far, they have played each other twice this season; winning one of each meeting. However, the Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has not played the last game and there’s a big question mark over his participation in the wild card game as well.
Jackson’s absence will give the Bengals and Burrow a better chance of winning. Certainly, the Bengals have played better than the last year and they reached the Super Bowl. So, Burrow and Co. could be in for another fairy tale run for the Lombardi trophy.
