One could see just from the in-game broadcast that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wasn’t happy during the win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Which was wild, considering over the course of the 41-24 blowout, Burrow threw for five touchdowns and helped save his team’s season.
But the vibe in the postgame presser was the same. And in a locker room speech shared by the team on Instagram, Burrow stressed that “we’re traveling on Wednesday, today’s Sunday, get your bodies right, get your minds right, it’s a big one Thursday.”
It’s the right tone for Burrow to set, considering the Bengals now turn around on a short week and visit the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday for a Week 10 AFC North showdown.
That game is a rematch of the Week 5 encounter, where the Bengals lost 41-38 in overtime. Now, Burrow and Co. get a chance to reach 5-5 and make serious headway in the AFC playoff race before playing two more conference opponents in the weeks after the Thursday game.
