The exact opposite scenario is playing out in Cincinnati right now, a strange dynamic where the team is undoing the excellence of the individual. Joe Burrow is playing some of the best football of his career … and the Bengals defense is taking a sledgehammer to all that hard work.

The Bengals – sans a select few players – are heading backwards and it’s left Burrow stating his desire for things to change moving forward, specifically in divisional play.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost another heartbreaker on Sunday, falling to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in a high-scoring shootout, 44–38. After the game, Joe Burrow didn't mince words when assessing the team's play, as well as what's to come for the team after dropping to 4-8, and likely out of playoff contention.
