Joe Burrow took a pair of worrisome sacks, but ultimately led the Bengals to a pair of touchdowns in three series’ worth of work.

An ESPN analyst believes Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are in danger of replicating a disappointing 2024.

"Joe Burrow was MVP-caliber sharp in the preseason opener, going 9 for 10 for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He hit Ja'Marr Chase four times for 77 yards and a score," Hartstein said.
