Is it just me, or is Joe Burrow playing angry? There seems to be a defiance in the quarterback’s late-season surge — as there was when he spoke candidly earlier this season about his need to play perfectly for the Bengals (7-8) to have any chance to win or now when he details the team’s need to retain top wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Joe Burrow tossed three touchdown passes and the defense forced a key early turnover to lead the Bengals to a 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Ryan Clark explains why the Bengals' offense will prove to be too much for the Broncos in their Week 17 matchup.

It’s hard to argue with Ja’Marr Chase about his All-Pro likelihood. And the Cincinnati Bengals hope he has his running mate for Week 17. The team already got massive good news about a key Joe Burrow protector before the battle against the Broncos.

Joe Burrow will aim to secure a crucial Week 17 victory against the Broncos, but he might have to do so without one of his key weapons. The Cincinnati Bengals are making a late push for the playoffs.
