The Cincinnati Bengals haven't lived up to their expectations so far this season, but they still have a chance to get hot and make the playoffs. The primary burden of that falls on star quarterback Joe Burrow, who has played some of the best football of his career this season.

If you just looked at the stats this season, you wouldn’t be able to tell Joe Burrow is roughly a year removed from having surgery on his wrist. He’s thrown for 27 touchdowns and four interceptions. The box score would also have you clueless about what’s going wrong for the Cincinnati Bengals, too.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addresses the media ahead of his team's Week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Paycor Stadium on CBS (Local12/WKRC-TV).
