Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals haven’t looked like an elite team through four weeks. There’s time for that to change. But it needs to happen soon. The Bengals travel to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in a game that Burrow has already declared a nearly must-win game. Both teams have a 1-3 record. Cincinnati has enjoyed deep playoff runs the past two seasons, including a trip to the Super Bowl during the 2021 season. Burrow before the season became the highest-paid player in the NFL. He's been slowed by a calf injury that's limited his mobility and production.

“I try not to be frustrated,” Burrow said. “That’s not going to get anybody anywhere. You just adapt to what you’re dealing with, adapt to how you need to play. And you take that week to week, day to day.” Arizona was widely considered to be one of the worst teams in the league coming into the season, but the Cardinals have been surprisingly competitive, and even knocked off the Dallas Cowboys at home a few weeks ago.
Cardinals linebacker Zaven Collins said he’s aware that the Bengals have been struggling, but noted that their roster is full of the same guys who helped the team advance to the Super Bowl two seasons ago.
