Joe Burrow's telling move was discovered just minutes after the Bengals' surprise loss to the Commanders and put their season in jeopardy


Joe Burrow's telling move was discovered just minutes after the Bengals' surprise loss to the Commanders and put their season in jeopardy

Disgruntled Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was seen not heading straight to the locker room following his team's surprise loss to the Washington Commanders on Monday night.

Instead, Burrow walked with Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor down a separate hallway that apparently leads to the coaches' offices. Neither looked happy when they were out of sight.

Normally, Burrow would be heading to the locker room like the rest of the Bengals, but that wasn't the case after Cincinnati fell to 0-3 on the season despite high expectations.

Monday seemed like a chance for the Bengals to make up for their first two losses of the season (a surprise win against the Patriots and a last-second loss to the Chiefs).

The Commanders didn't score a single touchdown against the Giants, winning a week after being trounced by the Buccaneers. Washington's role as ripe for the picking has never been more fulfilled.

The final score of 38-33 underscores that Burrow is not the scapegoat for the team, as the Commanders had six full drives that all ended in points, and only one did not end in a touchdown for Washington.

Burrow threw 29 of 38 attempts for 324 yards and three touchdowns without an interception.

Fellow quarterback Jayden Daniels announced his rise to NFL stardom by completing 21 of 23 field throws for 254 yards and three total touchdowns.

In NFL history, only six NFL teams have made the postseason after starting a season 0-3. That has only happened once since 1998, with the 2018 Texans, who lost just two more games the rest of the year before the postseason.

The 1992 San Diego Chargers are the only team to start the season 0-4 and still make the playoffs.

The Bengals travel to the up-and-coming Carolina Panthers on Sunday to try to avoid a four-game losing streak.
