New-look Cincinnati Bengals offensive line says earning trust of Joe Burrow key as sacks, losses pile up

CINCINNATI -- One main objective for the winless Cincinnati Bengals is pretty clear following their 0-2 start to the season.

After quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked 13 times total in the first two games, center Ted Karras said the team must make its franchise cornerstone more comfortable in the pocket.

"That's our biggest goal here moving forward -- helping our guy have confidence in us, earning his trust," Karras said Monday. "I feel like it's something we haven't done yet."

Burrow was sacked six times in a 20-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday; he was sacked seven times in a season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
