Quick Summary

Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, expressed a desire to throw the ball even more often after their 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, despite dropping back to pass 58 times and throwing it 54 times already. Despite turning over the ball twice in this game—marking an increase in turnovers compared to his early career—the team’s head coach, Zac Taylor, remains unconcerned about Burrow's performance. The Bengals will face the Miami Dolphins next week.

Story summary

In Sunday's game, the Cincinnati Bengals lost 22-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, dropping their record to 2-2. Quarterback Joe Burrow, despite throwing the ball 54 times in what was his third-highest attempt total career-wise, expressed a desire for even more pass attempts rather than seeking balance with increased running plays. "Let’s throw it more," he asserted postgame, emphasizing that his team will adapt depending on game situations—running extensively or passing heavily as necessary. Despite generally strong performance this season, Burrow has been turning the ball over more frequently; he added two interceptions to his tally in this loss, continuing a trend of increased turnovers recently.
