It\u2019s a new year and that means it is time for people to make resolutions about what they want to do differently over the next 12 months. <\/p>\n

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn\u2019t have to dig deep to find one. The Bengals will wrap up their third straight season without a playoff bid with Sunday\u2019s game against the Browns and Burrow was clear on Wednesday that he wants the team to find itself in a better place at this time next year. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to be in the spot we are in now, so something\u2019s got to change<\/a>,\u201d Burrow said, via Ben Baby of ESPN.com. \u201cWhether it\u2019s players we have continuing to improve and get better and play championship-caliber football or bringing in guys that will or whatever it may be. Obviously, something has to [change].\u201d<\/p>\n

The first choices the Bengals have to make will involve the coaching staff. Head coach Zac Taylor is wrapping up his seventh season and a win on Sunday would make him 53-62-1 with two trips to the playoffs over that span. The team could opt to go in a different direction or they could opt for changes to the staff, before moving on to how they\u2019ll address the roster around Burrow in 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a new year and that means it is time for people to make resolutions about what they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-381989","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
