Joe Burrow won’t be shedding any tears for the Baltimore Ravens anytime soon.
Burrow was magnificent on Sunday as he and the Bengals hammered the Ravens 41-21, and the former first overall pick finished the game with 525 passing yards and four touchdowns.
Many thought the team ran up the socre more than they should have, but Burrow doesn’t feel that way ata ll.
“This is the NFL,” Burrow explained after the game. “This isn’t peewee, this isn’t high school where you go out and run up the score. You play until the final whistle. I don’t care what the score is. We’ve been in spots where teams go out and do that to us. They did it to us last year. No sympathy from me.”
Just this season alone, Burrow has tossed for 941 yards, seven touchdowns, and just one interception against the Ravens.

After the game, head coach John Harbaugh declined to answer whether the Bengals ran up the score.
“They call their plays, we call our plays,” Harbaugh said.
Burrow set a franchise record for the most passing yards in a single game while his total made it the fourth-highest total in NFL history.
The second-year quarterback’s career performance came days after Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale said it was too early to gift Burrow the “gold jacket” given to those in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“I wouldn’t say I was offended by it,” said Burrow, the top overall pick in the 2020 draft. “I mean, I’m in Year Two. Who knows what’s going to happen down the road? But I didn’t think it was a necessary comment.”
You have to believe things are going to be quite testy in 2022.
