Troy Aikman believes Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow should win a prestigious reward.
The Cincinnati Bengals have won four of their last five games, and they are 8-8 heading into the final game of the season.
Dallas Cowboys legend and ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman has named Joe Burrow his MVP of the season after his sensational performance from this past week.
With the Cincinnati Bengals’ season on the line, Burrow completed 39-of-49 passes on 412 passing yards and four touchdowns to help guide his Bengals squad to a much-needed win over the Denver Broncos.
Burrow has now thrown for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns in eight straight games, with four consecutive wins in those outings. This has prompted many to think his name should be added to the MVP conversation.
Aikman expressed his admiration for Burrow on Monday Night Football, stating, “If I had [an NFL MVP] vote, it would go to Joe Burrow.”
Here is how other fans feel about what Troy Aikman had to say:
“Burrow is the most valuable player to his team in the league but won’t be the MVP,” one fan stated.
“Why is that wild? You have to respect how he’s drag that putrid defense on his back the entire season,” another fan commented.
“You could make an argument for Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, or Josh Allen. The crazy thing is that all three of them have been great this year, and one of them will finish in third place!” a third fan added.
A fourth fan opinioned: “He’s right. Although he won’t get it due to their record.”
“Absolutely! No one deserves it more than Burrow. Not one person,” a fifth X user stated.
One final fan summed it up: “The Bengals Defense, Run game, and O-Line all rank between 27th and 30th in the league. What Joe Burrow is doing is herculean. He is the MVP award or not.”
Joe Burrow Has MVP-Type Numbers
Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to a crucial win over the Denver Broncos, completing 39 of 49 passes for 412 yards and four touchdowns.
This performance marked his eighth consecutive game with at least 250 passing yards and three touchdowns.
The Bengals quarterback leads the league with a whopping 4,641 passing yards. He also has 42 touchdowns while he’s only thrown eight interceptions.
If the Bengals find a way to sneak into the playoffs, it will be hard not to give him that hardware.
