Bengals Week 4 rookie report: Joe Burrow shows progression in first-career win

The winning aspect of quarterbacking an NFL team was the one thing Joe Burrow couldn’t accomplish in his first month with the Cincinnati Bengals. He certainly got very close in Weeks 1 and 3, but too many points where left on the board to achieve victory in each matchup.

Mistakes and missed opportunities hurt teams who struggle to win close games the most. The Bengals are no exception to the rule, but sometimes, a bad team gets the chance to play an even worse team.

It was only a matter of time before Burrow and the Bengals capitalized on this opportunity, and it came in his second-career home game.
