Joe Burrow on the importance of being at home for big games like sunday night football bengals steelers

When you're at home, you use your cadence as a weapon. You can't really do it on the road. You have a lot of different silent cadences that you can use on the road, but it's just not as effective. And, uh... So when you can use your cadence as a weapon, you get the defense to show what they're doing and get in and out of plays and get in and out of protection calls, whereas on the road that's a lot harder. So that's why home field advantage in the playoffs is so important. Like you said, this is as big of a game as we've had here for a while. We lost to them early in the season, so number one, with the standings at the end of the year, you want that to be split, and number two, for first place outright, and so like you said, huge game. It's been a long time since y'all played a game with these kind of stakes. What's it like to kind of after the last three years to finally have a game that means something of this magnitude again? Yeah, it's exciting, but one game's not going to determine it, and six or seven wins isn't going to get you to where you want to be, so. A long season left. It's a big game this week, but next week is a big game too, and the week after that, and the week after that. So we're just focused on this one and trying to make this one a win and go from there. Do you take any extra gratification that y'all have been able to shift kind of the paradigm back to what it was back in 21 and 22 for y'all? It's got to win. It's got to win, and everything else takes care of itself.
