Joe Burrow explains heated incident with coach

The Cincinnati Bengals' season was a disaster.

After another shocking loss, this time to the Washington Commanders and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Bengals are now 0-3. It was a far cry from what anyone in Cincinnati envisioned when Burrow finally emerged from training camp with a clean bill of health.

After the loss to the Commanders, Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow and head coach Zac Taylor were fired by James Rapien from Sports illustrated They went into a private room together while the rest of the team went to the locker room.

Burrow was questioned about her private trip and spoke frighteningly openly about the situation.

“It was just a private conversation with Zac,” Burrow said. “It was a positive conversation. We're not happy with our situation, but the season is far from over. We're 0-3. There are still 14 games to play.”

“We just have to keep getting better and see how the cards fall over the next 10 weeks. We just have to start preparing this week, getting better and trying to get a win. That's all you can do.”

It's good that Burrow and Taylor are trying to work this out, but it may already be too late. Tensions were already high in the locker room after star receiver Ja'Marr Chase ended the offseason with a deadlock in contract negotiations, and now the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a 3-0 start.

The Bengals' next chance to get back on track is this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and former Bengals legend Andy Dalton.
