The Super Bowl is just days away with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles preparing to battle each other in the final game of the NFL season. Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford have received plenty of attention in the build-up to Sunday’s highly anticipated matchup as they both had similar beginnings to their careers.
Both Burrow and Stafford were No. 1 overall picks to teams that are considered to be bottom-of-the-barrel franchises. While Stafford was unable to lead the Detroit Lions to a Super Bowl during his tenure with his previous organization, Burrow has helped lead the Bengals from the depths of despair.
Despite Burrow and Stafford being two vastly different signal-callers, they both excelled when they had more time to throw the ball this season.
