NFL analyst makes case for Joe Burrow as MVP under one condition amid Bengals QB's scintillating 2024 season - Source: Imagn
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Saquon Barkley are among the favorites for MVP this year, but one NFL analyst wants to add Joe Burrow to the list. Dan Orlovsky thinks the Cincinnati quarterback deserves to be considered but with a caveat.
The Bengals are outsiders for the playoffs right now but they are currently 7-8 and still in contention for the postseason. They need many things to fall their way including winning both remaining games and others doing them a favor. However, if that improbability can become real, Dan Orlovsky thinks Joe Burrow should be in MVP contention. The analyst said,
"I think if Cincinnati gets in, Joe Burrow absolutely has a case. He's having an unbelievable season. Cincinnati, they were 1-5 at some point or 1-4. They play Denver this weekend, who's ahead of them. They beat Denver. That means that they'll play week 18 versus Pittsburgh. And if they beat Pittsburgh... if they get in, Joe Burrow can absolutely have a seat at that [MVP] table. There's no doubt about it."
