Joe Burrow Shines Despite Bengals Missing Playoffs: A Stellar 2024 Season

While the Cincinnati Bengals fell short of making the NFL playoffs in 2024, quarterback Joe Burrow’s individual performance was nothing short of spectacular. Coming off a tough offseason wrist surgery, Burrow bounced back in a big way, putting together one of the most impressive seasons of his career.

In 2024, Burrow threw for 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns, and only nine interceptions — all while leading the Bengals’ offense with poise and precision. His remarkable statistics earned him a Pro Football Focus grade of 93.9, ranking him third among all quarterbacks in the NFL. Burrow’s ability to produce at such a high level was a testament to his resilience and skill, especially after undergoing a significant surgery in the offseason.

In addition to his individual accolades, Burrow set franchise records for both touchdown passes in a season and single-season passing yards. These milestones not only highlight his growth as a quarterback but also demonstrate his ability to elevate his game under pressure. Whether in tight contests or high-scoring shootouts, Burrow was consistently a driving force for the Bengals’ offense.

Despite the team’s overall struggles, Burrow’s performance provided a glimpse of what the future holds for Cincinnati. With his continued growth and leadership, the Bengals have a strong foundation to build on as they look ahead to the 2025 season. The upcoming year will undoubtedly bring heightened expectations, and Burrow’s impressive 2024 campaign sets the stage for a potential playoff run.

As Cincinnati turns the page to the next season, there’s no doubt that with Joe Burrow at the helm, the Bengals have a quarterback capable of leading them back to postseason glory.
