Chase ready to uplift struggling Burrow

The Cincinnati Bengals faced a significant setback, officially being eliminated from playoff contention after a demoralizing 24-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. This defeat followed a tough Week 14 loss, amplifying the team's challenges. Amidst this difficult period, wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has publicly acknowledged the mental toll on quarterback Joe Burrow.

Chase shared that he might need to support Burrow going forward, noting that the quarterback often provides him with uplift. This willingness to be there for his franchise player is a positive sign for the Bengals. However, the underlying implication that Burrow might be struggling internally raises concerns about the team's long-term outlook.

While Burrow has previously expressed his commitment to playing football in Cincinnati, these comments from Chase, coupled with Burrow's own recent remarks, suggest internal struggles for the quarterback. The team needs changes, and Chase's public commitment to aiding his quarterback signals a proactive approach to navigating these challenging times.
