November Success: We're Built For It

Plus: Joe Burrow Named Week 8 AFC Offensive Player Of The Week [View In Browser]( [Bengals Blitz]( [Joe Burrow]( IF THIS IS NOVEMBER, IT MUST BE JOE BURROW AND THE BENGALS With the Bengals hosting the Bills Sunday night (8:20-Cincinnati's Channel 5) in Paycor Stadium's city of stripes, it is November now. In the last two seasons, that's when Bengals Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow has become a stone-cold killer. The Bengals are 5-1 in the last two Novembers. This October just passed has been pretty good, too. They have won three straight, but the January Man isn't looking very far down the calendar. "You've just got to keep it a day at a time. I know it sounds cliche," said Burrow after Wednesday's All Saints Day practice, "but if you look too far ahead and look too far in the past, then you're going to lose track of what you're doing, and you just have to keep your nose to the grindstone and get better every day. It's cliche, but that's what it is."

Their fiery coach, Frank Pollack, a Super Bowl champion 49er, led them into Levi's Stadium on a Sunday when his old teammates were honored. The Bengals offensive line outmuscled one of the most physical defensive fronts in the game to give Burrow enough time to complete 88% of his passes. "We needed it. We need another one next week," said Alex Cappa, already eying Sunday night's Bengals-Bills AFC showdown at Paycor Stadium. "It was really fun. We battled. We executed better than they did." [READ MORE]( [Joe Burrow]( BURROW AND BENGALS LOOKING AT ANOTHER RUN Bengals running back Joe Mixon, who grew up about 90 minutes away from Levi's Stadium in Oakley, knows all about the great 49ers, especially Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. After watching his quarterback sift the modern-day 49ers on a stone-cold 88% day Joe Burrow threw 32 passes in a 31-17 power play move on the perennial NFC favorite 49ers, Mixon was told Burrow, the new Joe Cool, bore a strong resemblance to the old Joe Cool. "Damn right he did," said Mixon, who helped him out with a season-best 87 yards on 5.4 per carry. Across the locker room, left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. was saying the same thing. "Yeah. He looked like himself. That's who he is," said Brown. "That's why I've got so much respect for him. "He keeps playing hard. He never gives in."

Last Sunday, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threatened club accuracy records Anderson has held so long that when he first set them they were NFL records. Geoff Hobson: I was going to start by asking you about that game against the Bills '75. But then Joe Burrow goes out there and does his best Ken Anderson imitation last Sunday with 19 straight completions and finishing at 88%, so close to your team records of 20 straight and 91% in a game. And when you did it, they were also NFL records. What was it like to watch? Ken Anderson: It was fun to watch. It's kind of the offense clicking like we're normally used to seeing it for the last two years. I think the bye week helped and got him healthy and some other people healthy and they could open up the offense a little bit and I think it showed.
