In a stunning turn of events, quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have officially reached a state of panic following their disappointing Week 3 loss at home to Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on Monday night. With an 0-3 record, the Bengals find themselves at the bottom of the AFC North, gazing up at the rest of the competition.
Among those leading the charge in the division are the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Fields, filling in for the injured Russell Wilson, has guided the Steelers to an impressive three-game winning streak to kick off the season. The Steelers faithful are riding high on this early success.
Following the defeat, Burrow fielded questions about the mounting pressure facing the Bengals as they fall behind in the division race. His candid evaluation of Pittsburgh’s performance drew praise from Steelers fans, who are relishing in their team’s undefeated start.
“The Steelers are 3-0, other teams are 1-2, we’re 0-3 and we play all six of those games still coming up,” Burrow acknowledged. “So we’re by no means out of it. But playoffs and winning the division are the furthest things from my mind, we just have to get better this week.”
The mention of Pittsburgh’s flawless record struck a chord with fans of the Steel City. The prospect of continued success has ignited a sense of optimism and enthusiasm among the Steelers faithful as they look ahead to what the season may hold.
It’s clear that the race in the AFC North is heating up, with the Bengals facing an uphill battle to climb back into contention.
