“He’s on the track to become the next Andrew Luck” - NFL analyst sees bleak future for Joe Burrow if Bengals don’t fix offensive line
On ESPN's morning show, Get Up, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was the subject of conversation. NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky said the Bengals quarterback could be the next Andrew Luck if he keeps getting beat up game after game.
“I was incredibly impressed with him again yesterday," said Orlovsky. "He right now is on the Andrew Luck track and that cautions me, candidly. I mean you watch this kid get beat up game after game after game after game... That will not last in this league. And he is phenomenal, they should win multiple Super Bowls with that kid... The Bengals should win multiple Super Bowls with Joe Burrow. If they don't get it fixed this offseason, he's on the track to become the next Andrew Luck.”

Do you agree with @danorlovsky7? 🤔 https://t.co/RRd1grII3x
In Super Bowl 2022, Burrow was sacked by the Los Angeles Rams defense seven times. Three-time All-Pro linebacker Von Miller and seven-time All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald had two sacks each.
Linebackers Leonard Floyd and Ernest Jones, as well as defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson, had one sack each. The last time a team had seven sacks in a Super Bowl was in Super Bowl 50 when the Denver Broncos sacked Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton seven times. Miller recorded two-and-a-half sacks for the Broncos as he was the Super Bowl MVP.

How many times has Joe Burrow been sacked this season?

Sorry we couldn’t get it done. Proud of our team and our fans. Love these guys
Burrow missed six games in his rookie season due to a torn ACL and was sacked 32 times in his first 10 starts that season. The Bengals' number one priority should be keeping their franchise quarterback healthy and upright.
