About this episode

The episode discusses Joe Burrow's performance in clutch situations, his recent contract restructure, and the potential for improvement with Ja'Marr Chase.

Joe Burrow is one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the NFL. When it comes to Burrow as a clutch quarterback, that's when the conversation gets really interesting. Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss Burrow's play in high-leverage moments and on the NFL's biggest stages. They also discuss how for those that argue he's not clutch that maybe he's actually just unlucky. Burrow's contract was restructured this week, and it's yet another modernization by the Bengals' organization since they drafted their franchise quarterback. More importantly, the Bengals continued to solidify their all-in approach to this season. Is there any way Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase can be better in 2026? Alex and Coach break down how that could happen with the NFL's best quarterback-wide receiver combo.
