Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have no choice but to move on and figure out how the Cleveland Browns outplayed them on Sunday, September 10, 24-3.
Among the players in the Bengals' fold that has drawn a lot of attention, Burrow was the one popularly singled out. Considering he threw a career-low 82 yards, NFL fans and media are seeking answers on the woeful Week 1 performance.
The 2021 NFL Comeback of the Player did just that, although there was significantly different about Joe Burrow when he met with the media - a new haircut, Fox News reported.

Burrow was taken out with 5:15 left in the fourth quarter, finishing 14 of 31. He was sacked twice and failed to throw a touchdown pass.
"It's one week," Burrow said in the post-game via the Associated Press. "Obviously, not up to our standard. Not up to my standard. We have 16 more of them, so we are going to keep trucking."
Despite the ugly loss, Burrow is keeping his head up. He points out that a Week 1 loss does not define anybody or any team's season. Further, he added that they have been in this situation before.
"Week 1 doesn't define anybody's season. Obviously, not very good out there. Anybody who watched saw that. But we've been in this spot before and we've come back stronger and had a great year. That's what we are going to do," the new-look Bengals QB said.
