Joe Burrow reflects on Bengals falling short despite great individual seasons: “Tou

CINCINNATI— Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase put the Ravens in action again…with a loss. Cincinnati is now 4-6 after another close loss to Baltimore.

Cincinnati’s top player threw for 428 yards and four touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough.

“You look at how we play, and then you look at Trey Hendrickson and how he plays, yeah, it’s a tough pill to swallow,” Burrow said a high level of play wasn’t enough. “We clearly had our chances. We know it’s difficult, and you feel like you’re playing well enough to win, but you’re not. But there’s always more to do.”

Cincinnati has actually seen four close wins slip away in four plays, flipping a potential 8-2 record to 4-6.

“Sometimes it’s the way the ball bounces. That’s the game,” Burrow said of narrow losses. “But you just have to be ready when your opportunity comes and presents itself and be ready to play. You never know when it will happen (or) what situation it will be in. With backups you never know when your opportunity will come with guys going down, you have to take advantage of it and go from there. ”

Burrow left it all on the field with that stat line, plus a whopping 13 QB hits from Baltimore. A few of those clearly fell under the roughing of the passer, but not for Burrow.

“You know, I feel like I never got those calls,” Burrow said of late hits in the pocket. ‘So I don’t really expect that. I feel like there was a couple that was close. Again, I don’t expect that.”
