Joe Burrow has played a role in the Bengals' comeback win this season, with his late touchdown passes. His team won seven of their last eight games by a single touchdown, including three in the playoffs. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes in five of his last seven games, and he has 13 games with at least three touchdown passes. In addition, he is averaging more than 348 passing yards per game and has been intercepted just once.
Joe Burrow is a possible Super Bowl MVP, and he could become the youngest player in history to do so. His performance in the postseason and regular season has earned him the award. But he'll have to beat out Cooper Kupp, who is an obvious favorite and also a legitimate MVP candidate.
Both games were competitive, and the Bengals had plenty of opportunities to win. However, they lost by three points. Burrow needs to stop making mistakes with the ball and play more accurately against opposing pass rushers. Against the Jets, he looked more effective and improved his protection, which is a critical component of being a successful quarterback.
