Joe Burrow remained calm and composed despite the disappointment of the Cincinnati Bengals’ failed two-point conversion attempt at the end of their game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals were down 35-34 with 38 seconds left when Burrow connected with Ja’Marr Chase for a touchdown, setting up the crucial two-point try. Unfortunately, the pass to Tanner Hudson fell incomplete, sealing the Ravens’ victory.
Upon reviewing the play, it was evident that there were missed penalty calls against Baltimore. Tight end Mike Gesicki was clearly held as he ran his route, and Burrow himself was hit in the face mask after releasing the ball. Despite the potential infractions, no flags were thrown. Burrow acknowledged the lack of calls but remained focused on the task at hand.
Reflecting on the missed opportunity, Burrow expressed his frustration over the Bengals’ 4-6 record and their position in the AFC North standings. While winning the division seems unlikely at this point, a playoff berth is still within reach. Burrow emphasized the need to capitalize on their chances and improve as a team.
Despite the setbacks, Burrow remains optimistic about the Bengals’ potential. He highlighted the strong performances of players like Trey Hendrickson and Ja’Marr Chase, underscoring the team’s talent and determination. Moving forward, Burrow stressed the importance of seizing every opportunity and continuing to strive for success.
The Bengals’ season may have had its ups and downs, but Burrow’s leadership and resilience will be crucial in guiding the team towards their goals. With a positive mindset and a relentless work ethic, Burrow and the Bengals are poised to overcome obstacles and make a push for the postseason. The road ahead may be challenging, but Burrow’s confidence and determination will be key factors in the team’s success.
