Joe Burrow "There's nothing down the field if teams play us like they (Ravens) did"

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Joe Burrow is absolutely right. There is nothing down the field. Defensive coordinators have seen plenty of film on the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals and they have successfully countered the deep threat. Play "two high safety" and the Bengals have no answer.

With this said, it marks the first time Joe has implicitly called out the coaches. Every other press conference from 2020 onward has featured classic Burrow-isms like, "I need to play better," but this is different. Teams have made the Bengals one-dimensional on offense and if the run gets stuffed as well, the offense sputters along.
