An ominous glimpse into the Bengals' immediate Joe Burrow-less future

Related Topics: Jake Browning, Joe Burrow

If just a month ago you told Bengals fans that they would be 2-0 for the first time since 2018 when Marvin Lewis was still running the show, and Andy Dalton was still under center, they'd be ecstatic.

Even if the wins are ugly, who cares? 2-0 is 2-0, and the Bengals always play ugly to start the season anyway. After all, if they just beat the Patriots in Week 1 last year, they would've been in the playoffs, so take these early-season wins when you can get them.

Now, add on the caveat that it comes with a Joe Burrow injury that'll, at best, sideline him for several weeks, and more likely sideline him for several months.
