Ahead of Week 16 vs. the Miami Dolphins, Bengals QB Joe Burrow addressed the media with candid, reflective, and at times cryptic comments about his mindset, the season, and his future in the NFL. In his opening remarks, Burrow made one thing clear: he still loves playing football. “I just want to play ball” was the overarching theme of his message — emphasizing that his passion for the game is what keeps him going, even through adversity. Burrow said it often feels like “everybody’s trying to do everything in their power to make me not play football,” but he’s fighting through it because he likes playing the game. When asked about the possibility of playing elsewhere, Burrow gave an intriguing answer: “You think about a lot of things.”While he didn’t close the door on future possibilities, he also said he “can’t see a world in which he’s not with the Bengals in 2026.” He reiterated that he expects to play for a long time, projecting confidence in his longevity and performance at a high level, even as this season has been one of setbacks and frustration. Burrow also supported his coaches and teammates, suggesting that while changes might be needed, the organization has the right people in place — and that everyone wants the same thing: to win.
