Troy Aikman believes Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow should win a prestigious reward.
The Cincinnati Bengals have won four of their last five games, and they are 8-8 heading into the final game of the season.
Dallas Cowboys legend and ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman has named Joe Burrow his MVP of the season after his sensational performance from this past week.
With the Cincinnati Bengals’ season on the line, Burrow completed 39-of-49 passes on 412 passing yards and four touchdowns to help guide his Bengals squad to a much-needed win over the Denver Broncos.
Burrow has now thrown for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns in eight straight games, with four consecutive wins in those outings. This has prompted many to think his name should be added to the MVP conversation.
Aikman expressed his admiration for Burrow on Monday Night Football, stating, “If I had [an NFL MVP] vote, it would go to Joe Burrow.”
