Joe Burrow Speaks with Heightened Sense of Urgency for Bengals to Make Title Run in 2026

Burrow said the Bengals have the talent to win the Super Bowl, but he wants the team to stop talking about next year and push for now.

  • On Thursday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed a heightened sense of urgency for the 2026 season, declaring "this is the year" to compete for a Super Bowl title.
  • The Bengals have missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, with defensive struggles and injuries plaguing the team; Burrow missed significant time last year due to a turf toe injury.
  • Addressing defensive concerns, the Bengals traded for Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and signed free agents Boye Mafe, Bryan Cook, and Jonathan Allen to revamp the unit.
  • Following Thursday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears, Burrow noted that his teammates embrace this intensity and the urgency inside the locker room is "very high."
  • With the regular season beginning on Sept. 13, Burrow has set clear expectations for his team to end their three-year playoff drought and return to championship contention.
