Joe Burrow did not have a great start to the 2024 season.
He and his Cincinnati Bengals were upset by the New England Patriots at home, 16–10. The star quarterback managed only 164 yards in the air and suffered three sacks. Burrow was missing wide receiver Tee Higgins, who was ruled out due to injury shortly before kickoff; Ja'Marr Chase didn't practice for much of the summer so there's legitimate reason to believe matters will improve as the season goes on. Nevertheless, it was not an encouraging start.
