After signing Bryan Cook, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and trading for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II, Burrow has his eyes set on the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to go win a lot of games this year and play great and win a Super Bowl,\u201d Burrow said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The roster has players with Super Bowl victories on their resumes, so they will look to set that standard. Bryan Cook won a championship with the Kansas City Chiefs, and center Ted Karras won two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI think that\u2019s a great goal, and it\u2019s always our goal, but there\u2019s a lot of football to be played until then, so I don\u2019t concern myself with February 27 right now,\u201d Karras stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Karras has the same goal; he just appears to be taking a more day-by-day approach to getting there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201dI\u2019m not a prediction guy,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m an internal goals guy. I\u2019ll throw out Super Bowl when it\u2019s appropriate, but as of June 2, right now, I am going to just continue to do my job to the best of my ability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Karras is an 11-year NFL vet who has been to the promised land twice, so his perspective will hold weight in the locker room. It seems his first goal is to take the AFC North.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201dYou\u2019ve got to win your division, that\u2019s always the first goal,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then, as we get going, the Super Bowl is always the goal, overarching. We don\u2019t talk about that much internally, and it did fire everyone up that Joe said that, and I love that, but we have a lot of things to work on before we\u2019re gonna be in a Super Bowl after we missed the dance three years in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Burrow\u2019s comments likely did excite the team, but Karras knows how much work there is to be done between now and then, and if there was ever a Bengals roster that should do it, this may just be the one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Joe Burrow spoke to the media last month, he made no mistake about what his goals for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":689944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[20939,349,99],"class_list":["post-689943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-cincinnati-bengals-news","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689943","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=689943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/689943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/689944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=689943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=689943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=689943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
