Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went out of his way to praise rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton on Thursday. The 27-year-old was asked about tight end Erick All, who has quickly become a big part of Cincinnati's offense.

On one side, players and coaches have expressed the disappointment that comes with starting 0-2 for the third straight season and the fifth time in the past six years. On the other -- as quarterback Joe Burrow pointed out Thursday -- is that the familiarity that comes with the slow start means Cincinnati knows what it will take to snap the skid and beat the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
