Footballguys on Joe Burrow

Burrow's quick release negates pass rush; explosive Bengals face weak Bucs secondary.

Burrow and the Bengals passing attack remain one of the most explosive in football on paper. Cincinnati thrives on chunk gains through the air, and even with an offensive line that's had its share of pass-protection issues, Burrow's ability to get the ball out quickly tends to negate a lot of what opposing pass rushes try to do to him. Against Tampa Bay's defense that allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025, this looks like the kind of Week 1 environment where Cincinnati's passing game can pile up points in a hurry.
