NFL football also has a main component known as defense. The Bengals have given up the 4th most points per game at 27.7. Think that has anything to do with their record?

And we are currently one place above them (thank you Will Levis) with 26.5

Does Trevor get a pass like Burrow too or is Trevor expected to 'overcome' it? (Not saying you made that argument but that's one usually thrown at him).

Nobody gets a pass here. It’s just that a few QBs in the league have an “it” factor, where a combination of their skills, physical traits, and mental attitudes enable them to lift their entire teams, especially in crunch time. Mahomes being #1 in my book. He’s way down statistically, because of the Chiefs OT problems not giving him the time he’s had in the past, but the guy is arguably the best clutch QB I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never been a big Joe Burrow fan, but that guy is a leader and a top notch competitor. He absolutely hates losing. Give me that guy’s toolbox and competitiveness any day. Being in the AFC Championship game in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons, plus Super Bowl LVI gives him the cred.
