Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals know the challenge that awaits them when they play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 56. Aside from the Matthew Stafford-led offense, the LA squad is balanced defensively as well with Aaron Donald, Lonard Floyd and Von Miller leading the way.

Despite the defensive threat that the Rams bring, however, Burrow is more than confident that the Bengals' offensive line can step up and hold their own against the home team. He acknowledged that it will be difficult, but he knows what Cincinnati is capable of after reaching the Super Bowl when no one expected them to do so.

“They're a very good defensive front,” Burrow said on Monday, per Nick Shook of NFL.com. “It's going to be a challenge for our guys, but they've worked really hard to put themselves in this position. And I know that our coaching staff has a great plan for them that they're going to be able to go out and execute. But obviously, guys like Aaron Donald, Leonard Floyd, Von Miller are guys that are going to get pressure.”

For what it's worth, though, it won't be the first time Joe Burrow and his Bengals would be pressured by the opposing defense in the playoffs. After all, in the divisional round against the Tennessee Titans, the second-year quarterback was sacked nine times.

Still, the Bengals found a way to take down the AFC leaders and win. They then improved immensely in the Conference Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs, with the 25-year-old QB getting sacked just once as they flipped the table after an 18-point deficit.

Burrow has experienced it all in the postseason, and he is aware of what he needs to do to get the job done again when they play the Rams on Sunday.

“It's going to be how, one, I handle the pressure — how I'm able to get the ball out of my hands and get it to my playmakers in space,” Burrow added. “And two, how we're going to be able to handle them up front. I have the utmost confidence in our offensive line to make it happen.”

Of course things are easier said than done. They are still facing an elite team with weapons on all fonts, so the Bengals need to be at their absolute best if they want to pull an upset.

But if there is one thing fans should have learned by now, it's to never count the Bengals out. Never.
