'We Would Have Had a Good Chance' - Joe Burrow Confident in How Bengals Could've Fared in 2025 Playoffs

"Would've, could have, should have."

CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow discussed the rough 2024 season for his Bengals during Super Bowl week with The Sports Daily's DJ Siddiqi. He's convinced Cincinnati would've had a great chance to play in the big game if they had notched one more victory in the regular season and made the playoffs.

The Bengals won five in a row to end the 2024 season but missed the playoffs at 9-8 overall.

”I think we would have had a good chance,” Burrow told The Sports Daily. “But would have, could have, should have, that’s not where we were. That’s not the position that we put ourselves in. We needed help at the end.”

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts every day would be Christmas. The Bengals started slowly again in the Zac Taylor era with a 1-4 opening record and couldn't climb out of it. Burrow is focused on starting much better this fall, with a hopeful Super Bowl LX run looming.

”Yeah, I would say a little bit,” Burrow told Siddiqi about the Bengals being motivated from missing the playoffs the past two years. “I don’t think focusing on the end goal is the best way to look at things at this point in my career. If you just focus on controlling what you can control day to day, focus on getting better, the rest is going to take care of itself.”

Start 1-0 in 2025 and move on from there as Burrow tries to continue leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, like he did in 2024. Check out the full story here.
