In 2023, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had 2,309 yards and 15 touchdowns by means of the primary 10 weeks.
Then, in a Week 11 contest in opposition to the Baltimore Ravens, he tore a ligament in his proper wrist and was misplaced for the remainder of the season.
The damage was a blow to the quarterback as Burrow was aiming to succeed in a 3rd consecutive 4,000-yard passing 12 months.
He has come again sturdy in 2024 and has tallied 1,370 yards, 12 touchdowns, and simply two interceptions in 5 begins.
Sadly, the Bengals have limped to a 1-4 file together with an in depth time beyond regulation loss to Baltimore final week.
Regardless of the losses, former NFL quarterback Chris Simms believes that Burrow could be an MVP favourite if the staff have been taking part in higher.
“If Joe Burrow and firm had a greater file, he could be the MVP of soccer… and let me say this too. Ja’Marr Chase is unquestionably one of the best receiver in soccer thus far,” mentioned Simms throughout a Friday look on the Dan LeBatard Present.
Chase has certainly began sturdy and has hauled in 29 passes from Burrow for 493 yards and co-leads the NFL with 5 touchdowns.
On Sunday, the Bengals head to the New York Giants for the primary of two straight highway video games.
The Giants have performed barely higher than marketed and welcome Cincinnati with a 2-3 file.
Simms doesn’t consider that the G-Males will get their third win of the 12 months in opposition to Burrow, nevertheless.
“I believe they outscore the Giants,” mentioned Simms.
If the Bengals can get previous New York and Cleveland (one other AFC North cellar dweller), the staff can have vital momentum earlier than taking part in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Baltimore, and the LA Rams earlier than its bye week.
