Bengals QB Joe Burrow says Cincinnati 'not worried' about 0-2 start; 'We're gonna be fine'

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow offered advice for those panicking about the team's winless start heading into Week 3.

"Let's all just take a deep breath and relax," Burrow said Wednesday during his weekly news conference. "We're gonna be fine. We're not worried about it."

Cincinnati's reign as defending AFC champion has not gone well so far. The Bengals are the first team in the Super Bowl era to lose their first two games despite being at least a 7-point favorite in each contest, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Staying calm despite the early losses was a primary talking point for Burrow and several of the Bengals ahead of this weekend's game against the New York Jets, who will be starting backup quarterback Joe Flacco.
