The Cincinnati Bengals haven’t had the season they hoped for.
They’re sitting on a 4-5 file, and even with a win on Thursday, being round .500 isn’t what you’d count on from a staff of this caliber.
Nobody can blame Joe Burrow for his staff’s season.
By most requirements, he’s been among the best quarterbacks within the league, however his protection and training have persistently let him down.
No matter his numbers, Chris Canty believes he can’t be within the MVP dialog until he takes his staff to the playoffs.
On ESPN Radio’s “UNSPORTSMANLIKE,” the previous NFL participant in contrast him to Lamar Jackson, stating that the Baltimore Ravens’ protection isn’t nice, but Jackson is main them via thick and skinny.
“If this staff does not make the playoffs, no one’s going to offer him an MVP.”

This is sensible.
The NFL isn’t like MLB, the place gamers can get MVPs regardless of not making the playoffs due to their performances.
Additionally, it’s not like there’s a scarcity of potential MVP candidates.
Burrow’s numbers are, by all means, MVP-worthy.
He’s accomplished north of 70% of his passes for two,244 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions.
Then once more, that doesn’t imply something when the staff isn’t getting the job achieved.
We’ve seen the Bengals begin the season slowly after which get sizzling on the proper time repeatedly, a development that has been an everyday a part of Zac Taylor’s tenure.
A win towards a divisional rival in primetime might shift the sentiment again of their favor, and that can be a must-watch matchup.
