Joe Burrow has had a slow start to the 2023 season for the Cincinnati Bengals as he struggles to recover from a calf injury.
But he appears to have made a full recovery, earning him the NFL title this week.
After a thoroughly dominant performance against the San Francisco 49ers this week, Joe Burrow was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week by the NFL.
“Burrow was back to his usual dazzling form on Sunday as the Cincinnati Bengals toppled the San Francisco 49ers, 31-17.
So far throughout the afternoon, Burrow has completed 87.
5 percent of his passes, missing just four of 32 attempts.
On the day, he totaled 283 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while also adding 43 more yards on the ground,” Gordon wrote for NFL.com when the league announced the award.
It’s a well-deserved honor for the quarterback as he appears to be returning to MVP form, and the NFL world had a lot to say about the announcement on social media.
Burrow will continue his strong play this week when the Bengals host the Buffalo Bills in a primetime game on Sunday night.
