Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow and his roster find themselves in a very unique yet exciting position. The young QB has been a big difference between them, winning and losing games. But entering the Super Bowl, Burrow will be against the Los Angeles Rams and their superior defensive setup. The exceptionally talented players of the Rams possess the potential to be nightmarish for Burrow and his young Bengals squad.

In all fairness to Burrow, he has been recording the 6th fastest time in throwing the football in the NFL. Though he also is the most sacked QB in the NFL, after being taken downtown 51 times. During their previous games in the playoffs, Burrow faced issues in their game against the Tennessee Titans. He got sacked 9 times then but did come away from the game with the all-important victory.
The AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs was a comfortable outing for the Bengals QB. He only was sacked once by the Chiefs’ defense, a game in which the Bengals showed a lot of heart and spirit. But their Super Bowl opponents, the Rams, are out for blood with QBs like Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Kyler Murray already being slain.

The Bengals have been winning games on small margins this season, and his plan involves a two-step process. He states, “It’s going to be how, one, I handle the pressure — how I’m able to get the ball out of my hands and get it to my playmakers in space. And two, how we’re going to be able to handle them upfront. I have the utmost confidence in our offensive line to make it happen.”

But how much of the plan will work remains a mystery, with the Rams defensive stars showing no signs of stopping. But if the Bengals are willing to pay the price and take the hits, they are in with a chance to do something magical.
