After a disappointing 16–10 loss to the Steelers in Week 12, NFL fans were quickly reminded how much the Bengals struggle when star quarterback Joe Burrow is not under center.
After Burrow recovered from a nagging calf injury, Cincinnati bounced back from a 1–3 start by ripping off four consecutive wins. But in Week 11, Burrow was lost for the season after suffering a torn ligament in his right throwing hand.
Following Sunday’s loss, the Bengals fell to 5–6 on the season.
