Week 5 of the NFL brings us one of the most exciting matchups of the day: Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will face none other than Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. In light of this, the former LSU QB was clear about what they need to do to defeat John Harbaugh’s team.

In an interview published on NFL.com, the Bengals‘ starting quarterback was clear about how to approach one of the breakout teams of the season: “You’ve got to be aggressive out the gate.

“You can’t let the game come to you because your possessions are going to be so limited. I’m gonna have to play damn-near perfect. That’s how I’m preparing, so it’s an exciting opportunity.”, Burrow also added.

Surprisingly, the team led by Zac Taylor finds itself with a negative record of 1-3 after starting the season with three consecutive losses, a situation that raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike. However, the losing streak was snapped last weekend when they defeated the Carolina Panthers 34-24.
