Joe Burrow, known for his clutch performances, is currently in the midst of the longest losing streak of his career. The Bengals have lost his last four starts, a stretch that includes a Week 10 game from last season when Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury. It’s the longest losing run he’s experienced at any level, from high school to the NFL.
This week, Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. The good news for Bengals fans is that our model projects Cincinnati to win by a score of 32-21, giving them an 89.02% chance of securing the victory. A win would snap Burrow’s uncharacteristic streak and get the Bengals’ season back on track.
Burrow’s numbers this season have been decent despite the losses. In Week 1, he completed 21 of 29 passes for 164 yards without a touchdown or interception in a 16-10 loss to the Patriots. In Week 2, he bounced back somewhat, throwing for 258 yards with 2 TDs and no interceptions in a narrow 26-25 loss to the Chiefs. But, they certainly haven’t been the elite numbers we’ve grown to expect from him.
What could be key for Burrow in this game is the return of his full complement of weapons. Ja’Marr Chase is healthy and star wide receiver Tee Higgins is set to make his season debut, which should give the Bengals' offense a major boost. The combination of Burrow’s precision passing and his elite receiving corps could be the spark Cincinnati needs to get their first win of the season.
As Burrow looks to end this losing streak, Monday Night Football provides the perfect stage for the Bengals to bounce back.
