The Cincinnati Bengals have extended their contract with starting quarterback Joe Burrow, a signee of a high-profile deal, at the beginning of the season. With his incredible athleticism, he keeps his place on the list even though his team’s series of ailments caused them to sit last in their division during his push for this season’s MVP award.
Injuries could not halt his athletic prowess; hence his God-gifted athleticism should not go unnoticed and unrewarded according to his Bengals teammate Tyler Boyd.
Tyler Boyd hails Joe Burrow
It is definitely a triumph for Joe Burrow’s club to go from 1-3 to 5-3, and with his group, the Bengals player’s recent play has raised Burrow’s chances of winning MVP this season.
Although there is always competition for MVP, Boyd believes that Burrow is at the forefront of the conversation because of his sustained excellence and the Bengals’ comeback. The Bengals player displayed his utmost conviction when pressed if Joe Burrow is still believed his quarterback should win MVP.
“Absolutely. He’s been playing lights out,” Byod’s answer showed his trust in Burrow’s legacy in the NFL.
After eight weeks of this season, the 25-year-old racked up 1,861 yards, and 12 touchdowns while being intercepted four times. In the run of having the MVP award of this season, Burrow will have an intense battle with fellow signal-callers in the league, including Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Lamar Jackson.
Joe Burrow’s performance vs Cardinals
The Bengals offense’s star has never failed to dazzle his supporters with his dominance on the field, as he demonstrated once more during the team’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. In Week 5, following a devastating 27-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the game prior, Joe Burrow led his team to a baffling 20-34 victory over the Cardinals.
The Bengals’ starting quarterback finished the evening with 36 of 46 passes for 317 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Per Atletic, his dazzling performance came after being limited to four games due to a calf injury.
Joe demonstrated that an injury could not prevent him from succeeding by tossing the ball for a 60-yard go-ahead touchdown with 2:10 remaining in the game, defying Ja’Marr Chase’s suggestion that his friend take it easy until he was totally fit.
He not only made an incredible return, but his play also kept the Bengals’ season alive. His football acumen was evident throughout the entire game, as he guided this club to consecutive Super Bowl and AFC Championship games.
Seeing his passing accuracy and athleticism, already Myles Garrett named Joe Burrow as the potential MVP of this season over Jackson. Who do you think will win the race at last?
