Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow issued a short message on social media to fans in the wake of his team being eliminated from the playoffs over the weekend.
Over on Instagram, Burrow wrote the following in the caption of a picture: “Season to remember, sorry you won’t get to watch anymore. Year 5 in the books.”
Notably, said picture was a snapshot of Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins walking out onto the field together as team captains for a coin toss.
That feels pretty notable in the wake of the Bengals firing defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and other coaches after Burrow has made it clear publicly over the last five weeks that he wants the team to do whatever it takes to keep that trio together.
While the season didn’t end like Bengals fans might’ve hoped (preferably with those guys going back to New Orleans for a Super Bowl), Burrow’s upbeat message and the hope of lessons learned and big changes make it easy to be positive for 2025.
