EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –– Earlier this week, when the Cincinnati Bengals had an 0-2 record and a season that was a loss away from spiraling, wide receiver Tee Higgins said there was a “look in Joe Burrow’s eyes” that was giving the team confidence.
It’s one thing for a team to believe in its quarterback when you’re rolling through the AFC, shredding opposing defenses and looking like you’re well on track as Super Bowl contenders. But what makes Burrow a franchise quarterback is that even when the Bengals’ back is against the wall, they’re never truly out of it.
