The first half of the Week 7 NFL regular season game between the Baltimore Ravens and the visiting Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday went the way of the visitors.

As the Ravens dominated the first half 13-0 against toothless Cincinnati, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s performance was dissected.

The Bengals signal-caller started slowly, completing just 3 of 9 passes for 19 yards. As the NFL world hoped for Burrow to pick up momentum, the quarterback completed the first half just 6 of 12 for 43 yards. That prompted fans online to criticize the quarterback.

“(Joe) Burrow is washed,” a fan wrote.

For the Cincinnati Bengals to overcome the 13-point deficit in the second half, it’s imperative that quarterback Joe Burrow find his rhythm soon.

How Has Joe Burrow Fared For The Bengals This Season?
