CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said he was going to take a step back and evaluate his leadership after Cincinnati's Monday night loss to Washington.

Two days later, the star quarterback made it clear that he plans on making a change.

"A little more vocal. I'm usually a lead by example guy, but I think I can pick my spots. Say some more things, so find those spots this week," Burrow said. "We got a lot of young guys that we're counting on. Haven't really been here before. Have them hear my voice a little bit might be beneficial for them, I don't know."

The 27-year-old completed 29-of-38 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-33 loss.

The Bengals are 0-3 for the first time in Burrow's career.

"The urgency needs to heighten a little bit in this tough spot that we're in," Burrow said.

The 27-year-old also made it clear that they have to play better and that talking only goes so far.

Is this team missing the leadership of key veterans that were on the roster in the past?

"I wouldn't say that. I think we've lost guys that are leaders, but I think we were all pretty similar leaders," Burrow said. "I wouldn't say we had a ton of rah-rah vocal guys. And at some point you can only say so much and you've got to go out and play and everybody's got to be focused on what they can do to get better every day. There's only so much you can do or say to help that."

The Bengals play Andy Dalton and the Panthers on Sunday. They're hoping to get their first win and rebound after an ugly start to the 2024 campaign.
