Joe Burrow Says Bengals Have to Be Great at Battling Adversity

Transcript

00:00 - Feeling that kind of the record,

00:01 does that play a role in how much

00:02 you're kind of pushing to come back?

00:04 I mean, is there probably a greater sense of urgency

00:06 in the fact that you are an 0-2 and you start here?

00:08 - It's in my head, for sure.

00:10 I'm thinking about it.

00:14 - Last year, when you guys started on 0-2,

00:16 you said up here, I think you said,

00:17 "Everybody relax, we're gonna be fine,"

00:19 or something like that.

00:21 How tough is it balancing the calf now

00:23 along with the 0-2 and kind of navigating it?

00:26 - Yeah, it's obviously tough whenever you have an injury.

00:30 When you start 0-2, that's obviously not ideal,

00:33 but that's adversity of the season.

00:37 That's the ups and downs of the year.

00:39 The teams that come out on top at the end of it

00:43 are gonna be the teams that handle

00:44 that adversity the best.

00:45 You can't let it snowball on you.

00:46 That's what we've done in the past.

00:48 And if you go back and look year to year,

00:52 the teams that are still in it at the end,

00:53 everybody has adversity at some point in the year.

00:56 Everybody stinks at some point, according to the media.

00:59 We're just gonna sit here and continue to get better.

01:02 We're gonna have good practices.

01:04 We're gonna take it week by week,

01:06 and that's all you can do.
