"Despite Joe Burrow's impressive stats, including a 72.3% completion rate and 12 touchdowns in five games, the Bengals' 1-4 record reveals a struggling defense that fails to support their star quarterback. Burrow's statement, 'We're not a championship-level team right now,' underscores the urgent need for the team to improve defensively, as Burrow's efforts alone are not enough to secure victories in the competitive landscape of the NFL."
"The Bengals' offense has shown promise with an average of 0.94 EPA per drive, the best in franchise history for the first five weeks since 2000. However, their defense lags critically, allowing an alarming 2.73 points per drive, marking the worst start for the franchise in the same period. This stark contrast highlights the team's overall struggle, where Burrow's elite performances are overshadowed by a defense that cannot secure wins."
