Joe Burrow made a decent start to the season opener against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. However, the Bengals quarterback an underwhelming second half, finishing with 113 passing yards and getting sacked twice by Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.

Burrow, who was the passing yards leader last season, acknowledged his slugging second half against the Browns and has vowed to improve his game ahead of the Week 2 clash against the Jaguars.

"Obviously, second half wasn't what we wanted last week but still things to build on," Burrow said. "Still, obviously, room to improve and just like every week, you learn from both the good and bad and move on."

Joe Burrow has been one of the biggest stars to have emerged over the last few seasons and the Bengals quarterback said he takes advice from NBA superstar Kevin Durant, legendary quarterback Tom Brady, and fellow LSU alum Odell Beckham Jr.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
