Bengals QB Joe Burrow 'trying to manifest' Super Bowl win this season: 'I'm tired of saying next year'
Burrow, whose NFL championship dreams have been dashed by injuries, poor records and close postseason games, said that he's treating Cincinnati's shot at a title as now or never.
For years, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has aimed to finally lead his team to a Super Bowl victory. During a press conference on Thursday, Burrow expressed his desire to "manipulate" the outcome, showing urgency that he and the organization should feel in order to succeed. The 29-year-old has spent his entire NFL career with the Bengals, facing setbacks such as injuries and close losses.
In 2020, his rookie season was ended prematurely by an ACL and MCL tear. Despite this, Burrow led the Bengals to the Super Bowl in his second season, but they lost to the Los Angeles Rams by three points. In 2023, he underwent wrist surgery and missed nearly three months due to turf toe, but the Bengals still failed to perform well without him.
Burrow is under contract until 2029, having signed a $275 million deal in 2023. He reiterated his belief that "this is it" and that the Bengals must strive to win the championship now, not next year.
