Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow needs to be in an ice bath for 1758795 straight days. He was sacked 70 times this season, including the NFL Playoffs, as the Bengals’ offensive line did not do a good job of protecting him.

Burrow, however, has already sounded off on the issue and he defended his teammates. He instead took responsibility and said he simply should be better.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor echoed Burrow. In a report by Pro Football Talk, Taylor was as self-effacing in admitting that he and the rest of the squad’s brain trust should’ve made better decisions regarding their offense.

“We just have to be better as a unit. I think that we’ll just look to improve the team any way that we can and not specific to one necessary group. The offensive line helped us get to the Super Bowl. They gave us opportunities to go win the Super Bowl. Everything always falls on them statistically, but that’s not always the case. There are play calls that could be better to help put them in a better position. There is a lot that plays into all that. They were an offensive line that helped us get to the Super Bowl and gave us opportunities to win and I think they should be commended for that.”

The Bengals had an inspired campaign and fell just a touchdown short of winning the Super Bowl. For sure, the team will look to address the offensive line this offseason, with plenty of cap space to go around.
