The Cincinnati Bengals and their star quarterback Joe Burrow are eager to shake off the disappointment of last season and come back strong in 2025. The Bengals finished the 2024 season with a record of 9-8, just missing out on the playoffs. But with the motivation running high, the team is looking to improve this year.
Burrow had a remarkable season last year and even drew attention as an MVP candidate. In 17 games, he threw for 4,918 yards, completed 70.6% of his passes, and recorded 43 touchdowns against just 9 interceptions. While those stats are impressive, Burrow believes there’s always room for improvement. “There’s room to improve in every area,” he said. “Movement, accuracy, spin rate, bigger, faster, stronger – all of those good things.”
This mindset is a scary thought for opposing teams. Burrow is already considered one of the top quarterbacks in the league, and if he elevates his game as he aims to, the Bengals may emerge as serious contenders for the Super Bowl.
At only 28 years old, Burrow has already put up staggering numbers over his five-year career. He has tallied 19,001 yards and 140 touchdowns while maintaining a completion rate of 68.6% across 69 games. His consistency is impressive, especially considering two seasons were marred by significant injuries.
Furthermore, the Bengals fortified their offensive lineup during the offseason by extending contracts for both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. With these talented players by his side, Burrow is well-equipped to lead one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses.
As the team prepares for the upcoming season, Burrow’s determination and ambition signal a promising year for Cincinnati fans. If he can deliver on his goals, the Bengals may find themselves at the top of the AFC standings.
