Much has been said about Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in the wake of his sideline encounter with head coach Zac Taylor.
That includes another Bengals coach offering an interesting take on it.
Then, there is Colin Cowherd, who went and defended Burrow against any critics who took issue with it — pointing a finger right at the Bengals organization in the process.
“Joe Burrow is looking around this league at the financial commitment of Baltimore and Kansas City and the aggressive front offices of Philadelphia and Detroit and Buffalo, and Joe Burrow’s looking around, and he’s got Mr. penny-pinching owner,” Cowherd said. “And he’s just in no mood. He’s had bad body language for a month and we love Burrow.”
Zoomed in, Burrow was undoubtedly mad about a sloppy game that featured 14 penalties and a mere 10-point win over a three-win team while forcing six turnovers. The Bengals are only 6-8, after all.
But zoomed out? Cowherd is probably right that the season-long frustration of a failed roster-building job by the team has led to this point.
Hence, Burrow putting pressure on the team about Tee Higgins and that type of outburst.
