Joe Burrow gives three-word verdict on his chances of winning NFL MVP

Joe Burrow gives three-word verdict on his chances of winning NFL MVP

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow does not fancy his chances of being named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player this season – amid compeтιтion from the likes of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

But the Cincinnati star has vowed to win the award before he retires from football.

Alongside Bills quarterback Allen, Ravens star Jackson and Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Burrow is among the betting favorites to be named MVP.

The Bengals star has thrown for 4,641 yards and 42 touchdowns this season – more than any other quarterback in the league.

That is despite the Bengals being 8-8 and in serious danger of missing the postseason. Burrow was serenaded with ‘M-V-P’ chants after victory over the Broncos.

But ahead of Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he played down his chances of winning the award.

‘I doubt it,’ Burrow said. ‘Usually you have to win your division… it is what it is. That’s how it’s voted and I don’t necessarily disagree with it.’

The Bengals currently sit third in the AFC North – behind Baltimore (11-5) and Pittsburgh (10-6). 

The quarterback is in no doubt, however, that he will earn the accolade at some point in the future.  ‘I’ll win one, one day,’ Burrow said.

Last week, Micah Parsons branded Burrow the best player in the NFL right now after the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback inspired a overtime win over the Denver Broncos.

Burrow continued his stellar season after completing 39 of his 49 pᴀsses for 412 yards and three touchdowns – including the game-winner in overtime – to keep the Bengals’ playoff hopes alive.

The 28-year-old has at least 250 yards pᴀssing and three touchdowns in eight straight games, extending his NFL record. 

‘If Joe burrow takes this team to the playoffs I don’t even think it should be in question who’s MVP!! God damm! Best in the world rn!,’ Parsons said on social media.
