The MVP race may be down to Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, but Bengals coach Zac Taylor thinks Joe Burrow is the NFL’s best player.
After Burrow led the Bengals to an overtime win over the Broncos on Saturday, Taylor was asked about Burrow in relation to Allen and Jackson and the MVP race, and Taylor cast his vote for Burrow.
“I don’t know that anybody can stand on the field and watch Joe Burrow and not say that he’s the best player in the world,” Taylor said. “I would not trade Joe Burrow for any player in the universe, and to me? That’s MVP to me.”
Burrow played one of the best games any player has played this season on Saturday, completing 39 of 49 passes for 412 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions against the Broncos. He was the best player on the field, and he’s certainly one of the best players in the league. Now the Bengals will hope he can lead them to a win next week, and that they’ll get some help in other days, so the player they think is the best in the world is playing in the playoffs.
