In the conversation for 2022 NFL MVP, we present for
your consideration Joe Burrow.
Indeed, in their third year quarterback, the Cincinnati
Bengals have a field general with a rifle arm, uncanny instincts
and the ability to lead a team to a Super Bowl berth, as he did
last season. And with the Bengals on a roll and headed for the
postseason once again, he may get that chance to avenge the
team's 23-20 loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
Through the first 12 games of 2022, Burrow's numbers
have been stellar, as he hit on 304 of 440 passes (a 69.1
completion percentage) for 3,446 yards (second in the NFL)
and 25 touchdowns (tied for second) against only eight
interceptions (tied for second-fewest among starters). His
103.7 quarterback rating ranks him fifth in the league.
But beyond the stats, he's also proven himself a clutch
performer, as he did in Week 13 against the Kansas Chiefs.
With the Bengals down 24-17 entering the fourth quarter,
Burrow hit on nine of 11 passes for 80 yards, including an
eight-yard strike to Chris Evans with 3:19 to play that proved
to be the game winner. And when
the Bengals got the ball back
leading 27-24, he engineered a
clock-killing drive in which he went
three for three and converted two
third downs.
Burrow and the Bengals can
be seen in action Monday, Jan. 2,
when they play host to the Buffalo
Bills in what could be a preview of
the AFC Championship airing on
ABC and ESPN.
