CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow tied his career-high with five passing touchdowns on Sunday, but he wasn't close to satisfied with a 41-24 win over the Raiders.

Cincinnati turned the ball over once on a Burrow pick-six and had a lull in the second half. Still, it was the team's first 40-plus-point outing of the season.

"Yeah, that's part of it," Burrow said about flushing things quickly before traveling to face Baltimore. "I'm not just gonna ignore the bad and dwell on the great that we did today. I don't think that's a recipe for improvement. I don't think that's a recipe for getting better. I'm gonna be hard on myself. I'm gonna be hard on us to execute the way that I feel like we need to execute. And I feel like we didn't put ourselves in great positions in times of that game to finish it off the right way. We ended up doing it. Defense came out big, but I think we could have done better."

Burrow hit four different players for scores and maneuvered the pocket like an assassin to start historically his best month of the football calendar.

Now they face a Baltimore team coming off a 41-10 drubbing of Denver.

"Yeah, I think just how this season has gone, knowing what's ahead of us, knowing what we're going to have to do to get back into this, one win isn't going to make or break our season," Burrow declared. "So now I'm gonna strive for perfection every day and every game. So until that happens, what's there to be happy about?"

A championship mindset.
