One rival executive isn't sure whether the Cincinnati Bengals can rise to the occasion as an organization after candid remarks from quarterback Joe Burrow raised some alarms.

Joe Burrow had a limp on Monday while Bengals coach Zac Taylor announced he'll start the final three games of the season.

The Cincinnati Bengals were officially eliminated from postseason contention on Sunday, but don't expect quarterback Joe Burrow to be shut down as the team's season winds down.

Burrow, like Luck, also has reason to question how his team has built its offensive line.

"There is not a team in the NFL that would have won a game today with me as the quarterback," Joe Burrow said in his postgame press conference.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's true feelings about the organization were revealed in a new report.

The Bengals have no path to the playoffs, but that isn’t changing their plan at the quarterback position.
