Story summary

In Sunday's game, the Cincinnati Bengals lost 22-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, dropping their record to 2-2. Quarterback Joe Burrow, despite throwing the ball 54 times in what was his third-highest attempt total career-wise, expressed a desire for even more pass attempts rather than seeking balance with increased running plays. "Let’s throw it more," he asserted postgame, emphasizing that his team will adapt depending on game situations—running extensively or passing heavily as necessary. Despite generally strong performance this season, Burrow has been turning the ball over more frequently; he added two interceptions to his tally in this loss, continuing a trend of increased turnovers recently.
