In opposition to the Cowboys on MNF in Week 14, the Bengals snapped a three-game dropping streak. Cincinnati gained 27-20 in Dallas and is now 5-8 in 2024. The Bengals began the season 1-4 and they’d have needed to be excellent to get better from that. Regardless of going 4-4 of their final eight video games, Cincinnati remains to be on the skin wanting in to make the postseason.
The offense isn’t the difficulty for the Bengals in 2024. Beginning QB Joe Burrow is having a dominant season for Cincinnati. He leads the league in a number of offensive classes with 4 video games to go. That features passing makes an attempt, completions, passing yards, passing yards per sport, and passing touchdowns. If Cincinnati had a profitable document in 2024, there’s a robust probability Burrow can be the favourite to win NFL MVP.

With 4 video games left within the 2024 common season, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Payments is the betting favourite at (-400) to win MVP. The subsequent closest participant is the Eagles’ Saquon Barkley at (+450). Allen has 23 passing and 9 speeding touchdowns in 2024. Buffalo already gained the AFC East and secured a spot within the playoffs. Two issues that Joe Burrow and the Bengals is not going to accomplish in 2024. Via 13 video games, Burrow has handed for 3,706 yards, 33 touchdowns, and simply six interceptions. His (285.1) yards per sport leads the NFL.
Regardless of his numbers this season, Burrow isn’t being thought-about for MVP because of the Benagls 5-8 document. Cincinnati’s protection has been holding the workforce again all season lengthy. Joe Burrow and the offense are scoring (27.8) factors per sport this season. That’s the sixth-best in 2024. Nevertheless, Cincinnati’s protection is permitting a mean of (27.7) factors per sport this season. Unsurprisingly, that’s the backside 4 within the NFL. Burrow and the offense have to play a flawless sport to win. If the workforce have been 8-5 and now 5-8, Burrow would doubtless be in stronger consideration for MVP. The Bengals are on the highway in Week 15 to face the Tennessee Titans.
