The Bengals were shut out, 24-0.\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\"><strong>CINCINNATI \u2014<\/strong> Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had a chance to end the narratives that have surrounded him and the team all season long.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">The speculation has ramped up over the past 10 days. Is Burrow sad? Is he unhappy in Cincinnati? Is he going to retire early?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">The 29-year-old signal-caller put an end to one narrative. He isn&#8217;t the next Andrew Luck.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">&#8220;I&#8217;m going to be playing for a long time,&#8221; Burrow said. &#8220;I expect to play for a long time and I expect to play well and consistently great for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Burrow also left the door cracked for him to play elsewhere in the future. Does he think he could have a new team next year?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t see that. No,&#8221; Burrow said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Has he thought about not being the quarterback in Cincinnati at some point in his NFL career?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">&#8220;You think about a lot of things,&#8221; Burrow said. &#8220;A lot of crazy things happen every year. Micah Parsons got traded right before the season. That&#8217;s something I hadn&#8217;t seen in a long time in the NFL. So crazy things can happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">That first line is one that will get plenty of attention this week and into the offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">&#8220;You think about a lot of things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">It&#8217;s fair to mention that he used the same line when asked about retirement.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">&#8220;I mean you think about it, but you think about a lot of different things in your life just like everybody does,&#8221; Burrow said when asked about not playing. &#8220;You think about all different possibilities that could happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\">The difference is he ended that statement with a definitive answer: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be playing for a long time. I expect to play for a long time and I expect to play well and consistently great for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\">Burrow didn&#8217;t do the same thing with the question about his future in Cincinnati. Instead, he talked about how crazy the NFL is and how you never know what&#8217;s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\">One thing is certain: He&#8217;s disgusted with three-straight losing seasons and wants to win. It&#8217;s up to him and the Bengals to have successful offseason so they aren&#8217;t in this position next year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\">\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The star quarterback left the door open to playing elsewhere when he talked with reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
