An ESPN analyst believes Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are in danger of replicating a disappointing 2024. Burrow led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and touchdowns (43) last season, but the Bengals missed the playoffs with the league's No.

Burrow played in two series in the preseason opener against the Eagles on Aug. 7, and then three Monday against Washington, including the controversial play. Instead of sliding, Burrow attempted to extend a play on third down and ultimately had three defenders take him to the turf.

ESPN had Cincinnati drafting 24th overall based on preseason ESPN Football Power Index simulations. He slotted the Bengals with Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor at that spot.

ESPN analysts question Bengals coach Zac Taylor's decision to keep Joe Burrow in Monday's game against Washington despite multiple sacks, including a dangerous horsecollar tackle.
