Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow is stressing a sense of urgency for his team heading into the 2026 NFL season.
The Bengals have missed the playoffs for three straight seasons, and Burrow isn't getting any younger. He wants to see his teammates embrace that urgency in order to hopefully make it back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2021.
“I’m trying to put it out into the world. I’m trying to manifest it. I’m trying to show our guys the urgency that I have and that I want us to have as an organization to go and make it happen," Burrow said.
“You can keep pushing it down the road, or you can talk about it now and say, ‘This is the year.’ And I’m tired of saying, ‘Next year, next year, next year.’ This is it. Life is too short to keep pushing things down the road. I’m trying to instill some urgency and some intensity in everybody to go and be great every day and try to go make it happen.”
