Dave Portnoy reacts to Joe Burrow's MVP-esque late-season resurgence
Joe Burrow has stepped up when his team has needed him the most. From a 4-8 start, he has led the Cincinnati Bengals to a four-game win streak to keep the team alive in the playoff hunt.
During Cincy's win streak, Burrow has completed 75% of his passes for 1,304 yards, with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. He leads the NFL in both passing yards (4,641) as well as touchdown passes (42).
That had led to some clamor for him to be named MVP of the 2024 season, but Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has urged fans to hold off on such talk. He wrote on his social media on Tuesday:
"The Joe Burrow for MVP convo is utterly ridiculous. He’s great. Love him. And yes Bengals are one of the worst teams in league without him. BUT the Bills are equally bad without Josh Allen and they are the 2 seed. Get a grip people."
