The Baltimore Ravens have enjoyed a fantastic start to their NFL season, thanks to Lamar Jackson. The Ravens are on a five-match winning streak after losing their first match by a razor-thin margin. In their first AFC North clash of the season, they will face the Cincinnati Bengals. After a disappointing season last year, the Bengals are a much better team this year. Major credit goes to Joe Burrow.

Joe Burrow, the man carrying the Bengals

While Lamar Jackson is simply on another level, Joe Burrows isn’t behind at all. In fact, according to Pro Football Reference, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback has covered 1540 yards and completed an astounding 14 touchdowns in just six games.

Moreover, Joe Burrow has the most touchdown passes of 30+ air yards in the NFL this season. The return of Ja’Marr Chase has certainly helped Joe Burrow as he has vastly improved this season.

All in all, comparing both the players statistically at this point in the season gives Burrow the edge. But when one looks at how influential the two have been for their teams to swing the results, Lamar Jackson is the undisputed king. Who do you think will end up having a better NFL season?
