Would Joe Burrow be the favorite to win NFL MVP if the Bengals had a winning record? - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Against the Cowboys on MNF in Week 14, the Bengals snapped a three-game losing streak. Cincinnati won 27-20 in Dallas and is now 5-8 in 2024. The Bengals started the season 1-4 and they would have had to be perfect to recover from that. Despite going 4-4 in their last eight games, Cincinnati is still on the outside looking in to make the postseason. 

The offense is not the issue for the Bengals in 2024. Starting QB Joe Burrow is having a dominant season for Cincinnati. He leads the league in several offensive categories with four games to go. That includes passing attempts, completions, passing yards, passing yards per game, and passing touchdowns. If Cincinnati had a winning record in 2024, there’s a strong chance Burrow would be the favorite to win NFL MVP.
