Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow warns the AFC North and Browns
quarterback Joe Burrow is ready to remind everyone — including the Cleveland Browns — of what he’s capable of after missing a chunk of last season due to injury.
A wrist injury ended Burrow’s fourth NFL campaign in Week 11. The Bengals finished 9-8 and Cincinnati missed the postseason.
With that in the rearview mirror, Burrow is ready to insert himself back into the conversation as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
“I believe that,” Burrow said during an appearance on Pardon My Take when asked if he felt people have forgotten about him. “That’s what happens when you get hurt though. You don’t play football. People forget about you.

“That’s part of the game. If you’re not out there and people aren’t watching you, then there’s nothing to talk about. So I’m going to give people something to talk about this year. I’m excited about it.”
As for the AFC North, Burrow predicts that his Bengals will win their third division title in four years.
“Bengals first, and then I don’t care,” Burrow said when asked to predict the AFC North.
Burrow also weighed in on some of the notable defensive stars he has to go up against in the AFC North. While he acknowledged Browns reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett as a major threat, he pointed to Pittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher TJ Watt as one of the more uniquee challenges.
