Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, has not been having a good time this NFL season.
ESPN Stats & Info claims that after four games this season, Burrow’s performance actually went down, which hardly any other quarterback in league history has ever encountered.

“Joe Burrow is the 1st QB in NFL history to attempt at least 150 passes in his team’s first 4 games of a season, and average fewer than 5 yards per attempt on those passes.”
The Cincinnati Bengals and their quarterback reached an agreement on a significant contract extension through the 2023 NFL season. Burrow and the Bengals have been regarded as serious AFC contenders over the past few seasons.
Unfortunately, Burrow doesn’t appear to be fully healthy yet. His calf has been troublesome, and it appears that this is preventing him from giving his best effort. The quarterback has also taken the Bengals to two AFC Championship games.
Sadly, the Cincinnati Bengals are unquestionably falling short of expectations as the squad has entered season Week 4. The Bengals, who had won the AFC North division last year, are currently in the last throes of the game.
Recently, the Tennessee Titans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals with a score of 27-3. The numbers have shown the floundering state of the Bengals and how the team is managing their quarterback, who is not yet fully recovered.
Burrow only completed 20 for 165 passing yards and no touchdowns. He suffered a 26-yard loss as a result of three sacks. He was also sacked thrice.

Zac Taylor, Cincinnati coach, said, “This was unacceptable”
“And I’ve got the confidence that we’ve got everything we need in this locker room to get right and get back on track next week. Disappointing this is not the expectation we had going into this game.”
“We weren’t able to find it, weren’t able to complete balls down the field, weren’t able to really do anything,”
“So, we’ve got a lot to get fixed.”
