The Cincinnati Bengals entered the season expecting to compete for the franchise’s first Super Bowl, instead, they’ve been nothing short of a dumpster fire.

The Bengals lost 37-17 at home to the Philadelphia Eagles at home on Sunday to drop to 3-5 on the season. Joe Burrow has had costly turnovers at points this season, which is especially infuriating considering he seems primarily to care about listening to rap music and dying his hair these days.

After the game, Joe “Brrr” Burrow addressed the team’s poor start and their chances to make the playoffs.

“I think 10 wins usually gets you in. We gotta win 7 out of 9. That’s doable,” Burrow said on what the team needed to do moving forward.

Fans reacted online to the laughable statement.
