CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow spoke for over 17 minutes after practice on Wednesday.

It was easy to feel the urgency in his voice and you could certainly see it on his face. The Bengals are 1-4 for the first time since 2007. Their four losses have come from a combined 15 points.

"Your record is your record," Burrow said. "It doesn't matter how you lost them. The goal this week is to go 1-0 for the week and move on."

What needs to improve the most?

"Everything," Burrow said bluntly.

Is he still confident the 2024 Bengals can reach their goals?

"Yeah, I know we can," Burrow said. "Whether we do or not is to be determined. But I know based on the players that we have in there and the coaches we have out there that we can get to where we want to, it's just a matter of doing it."

He also admitted that he still wasn't throwing the ball exactly how he'd like—which is wild considering he's completed 75% of his passes for 948 yard and 10 touchdowns over the past three games.

His point is simple: The Bengals are 1-4, no one expected them to be 1-4 and the only way to get out of the hole is to start winning games. That has to start on Sunday against the Giants.
