CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Joe Burrow isn't one for pregame speeches.

But the situation required one Sunday. With the Bengals off to an 0-3 start, the team's star quarterback opted to deliver a few words in the locker room in the final moments before Cincinnati's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Burrow didn't divulge what was said to his teammates. But the words resonated in a 34-24 road victory to give the Bengals their first win of the season.

It wasn't something Burrow mulled over at the team hotel the night before, or on the bus ride to the stadium.
