Maybe there was something more to the "having fun" remarks made by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow this week than many fans wanted to believe.
Burrow and the offense looked lifeless in Sunday's 24-0 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Pass protection struggled to hold up. Joe Brrr wasn't his typical sharp, hyper-efficient self. Receivers not named Ja'Marr Chase couldn't separate well at all.
Just a complete and utter debacle at Paycor Stadium — and no, I'm not referring to the excessively snowy seats before kickoff. That was more of a microcosmic harbinger of what was to come.
