This Joe Burrow Quote About Not Letting Up on Ravens Is Amazing
By Peter Dewey
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow put on a show against the Baltimore Ravens, throwing for 525 yards and four touchdowns en route to a blowout win, 41-21.
The win kept the Bengals in sole possession of the No. 1 spot in the AFC North, and Burrow showed why he is one of the NFL's best young quarterbacks in the win.
After the game, Burrow told ProFootballTalk that he has "no sympathy" for his division rival after the Bengals ran up the score on the Ravens.
“This is the NFL,” Burrow told ProFootballTalk. “This isn’t peewee, this isn’t high school where you go out and run up the score. You play until the final whistle. I don’t care what the score is. We’ve been in spots where teams go out and do that to us. They did it to us last year. No sympathy from me.”
Burrow has dominated the Ravens this season, and he made some history while he was at it.
With his performance against the Ravens today, Joe Burrow becomes the first player EVER with two 400-yard passing games against a single opponent in a season.

Burrow: "I didn't think it was a necessary comment."
The Bengals have a major matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17, but they have put themselves in a great position to make the playoffs with another win over a divisional opponent.
