The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-deshaun-watson-fiery-message-amid-unfulfilled-potential">Deshaun Watson era in Cleveland has been a complete disaster</a>, with many now already eyeing the next iteration of the Browns.</p><p>Jason Lloyd of The Athletic <a href="https://x.com/ultCLEsports/status/1871272311522783471" rel="noopener">suggested an interesting theory</a> related to the Browns trading Myles Garrett.</p><p>“So if they’re going to do this dome in 2029, you have to sell hope by 2027,” Lloyd began. “Where is the hope on this current roster? As good as Myles Garrett is, everything you said is 1,000% true.”</p><p>Lloyd went on to suggest that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-myles-garrett-trade-suitors-fishing-around-browns">Browns trade Garrett to gain ammo</a> to acquire a quarterback in the future. He has his eyes on Texas QB Arch Manning.</p><p>“You know who could be coming in 2026? Arch Manning,” Lloyd continued. “And who has Jimmy Haslam had a fascination with ever since he bought the Browns? The Manning family. It makes perfect sense.”</p><p>Lloyd also compared Garrett to former superstar left tackle Joe Thomas. Both are incredible players, but Lloyd argues that without a quarterback, the Browns aren’t going anywhere.</p><p>Lloyd made sure to note that this theory could work even if the Browns do not pick Arch Manning. But he is certainly the most promising quarterback on the horizon who matches Cleveland’s timeline.</p><h2><b>Myles Garrett sparks theory with comments about Browns future</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Myles-Garrett-2.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This theory has gained traction after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/myles-garrett-drops-long-winded-answer-browns-future">Garrett made some pointed comments</a> about what he expects from the future of the Browns.</p><p>“First of all, I want to win,” Garrett said on Friday. “I want the Browns to put us in a position to win. When the season is over, I want the Browns to illustrate that to me.”</p><p>Garrett suggested that he may not want to play for the Browns if they don’t meet his demands.</p><p>“If they can show that they will put all the pieces in place do it in the near future,” Garrett continued. “If we have that alignment and we have a great defense, have time of possession and a running game offense, that will keep my mind at rest. Not just me, a lot of guys on defense and the defensive line.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-myles-garrett-doesnt-regret-controversial-comments-future-browns">Garrett doubled down on his comments</a> during an interview on Monday.</p><p>“I’m not trying to rebuild. I’m trying to win right now,” Garrett said. “I want the Browns to be able to put me and us in a position to win. I want that to be apparent when the season’s over and we have those discussions.”</p><p>Garrett is leaving room in the conversation for the Browns to wow him with their future plans.

Throwing Dorian Thompson-Robinson in at quarterback in place of Jameis Winston did not work, and it resulted in a quiet day for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-peter-schrager-pushes-back-against-jerry-jeudy-madden-trade-story">star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy</a>, which drew an interesting take from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-qb-plan-dolphins-ugly-loss-bengals">head coach Kevin Stefanski</a>.</p><p>Jeudy enjoyed a star turn with Winston under center, but he did not enjoy the same success with Thompson-Robinson throwing him passes, as he caught just two passes for 20 yards. When asked about Jeudy’s lack of involvement, Stefanski said Cleveland obviously made it a goal of theirs to get him the ball, but the Bengals defense <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-12-23-24/" rel="noopener">ultimately prevented them from doing so</a>.</p><p>“When you’re talking about any type of target, it’s our job as coaches to put together a game plan where your best players are obviously the primary, but then you have to go with what the defense does,” Stefanski said on Monday. “That’s the other piece of it, I think, when you’re coaching the quarterbacks, make sure they understand that the ball goes where the ball goes, dictated by coverage.”</p><p>“Obviously, there’s things that we do and will always continue to do to try to get our guys open. And certainly, it’s no secret that Jerry is a huge, huge part of our offense. So, it goes without saying that we want him to touch the ball more.”</p><h2><b>Kevin Stefanski, Browns will look to get Jerry Jeudy back on track in Week 17</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-2.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jeudy had been on fire heading into this game, as he racked up 49 receptions for 786 yards and three touchdowns over his past seven games. His quick connection with Winston certainly helped, but he couldn’t get on the same page with Thompson-Robinson, who generally struggled when throwing the ball against Cincy. It also didn’t help that the Bengals gave Jeudy a lot of attention given his strong play as of late.</p><p>Stefanski could have designed plays, such as screens or designed handoffs, to get Jeudy the ball, but they ultimately did not do that against Cincinnati. Considering how poor the offense was in Week 16, Stefanski and company will have to go back to the drawing board ahead of Week 17, with the hope being they can get Jeudy more involved against the Miami Dolphins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the monumental personal accomplishment, the Cleveland Browns defensive end remains focused on a bigger goal: Winning.</p><p>Garrett notched his milestone sack during <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-qb-plan-dolphins-ugly-loss-bengals">the Browns’ 24–6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.</a> His eight-yard tackle on Joe Burrow in the first half brought his career total to 100.5 sacks, tying him for No. 60 on the NFL’s all-time list. It was a fitting opponent, as Burrow has been Garrett’s most frequent target, <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/browns-myles-garrett-becomes-youngest-player-to-reach-100-sacks-days-after-putting-team-on-notice-200830188.html" rel="noopener">sacked nine times in eight matchups.</a></p><p>“I’m happy to get that one for [my dad],” Garrett said, confirming his father Lawrence was in attendance at Paycor Stadium. “It doesn’t mean much in a loss, but I get to see him smile and get that accomplishment.”</p><p>Garrett’s performance added another remarkable note to his career. He tied Bruce Smith and Lawrence Taylor as the fourth-fastest players to reach 100 sacks, achieving the mark in 115 games. He also joined Taylor as the only players in NFL history to record at least 12 sacks in five consecutive seasons. While Garrett acknowledged the significance of sharing a milestone with Taylor, his comments reflected <a href="https://x.com/AkronJackson/status/1870948206168691092" rel="noopener">a desire for more team success.</a></p><h2><b>Myles Garrett wants one thing for the Browns: Success</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Myles-Garrett-1.jpg"><figcaption>Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“That’s a nice accomplishment, but we remember LT because he won,” Garrett said. “He did all those things, and I want to get to winning.” Garrett’s call for change within the Browns organization has sparked discussion. In remarks made days before the game, he expressed frustration with<a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/cleveland-browns-myles-garrett-reacts-to-reaching-historic-career-milestone" rel="noopener"> the team’s lack of progress.</a></p><p>“I’m not trying to rebuild. I’m trying to win right now,” Garrett said. “I want the Browns to be able to put me and us in a position to win. I want that to be apparent when the season’s over and we have those discussions.” The Browns are 3–12 this season and have posted a 53–76 record during Garrett’s tenure since drafting him No. 1 overall in 2017. Though he is under contract for two more seasons, Garrett left the door open for discussions about his future in Cleveland.</p><p>“Those are conversations that will be had after the season,” Garrett said after Sunday’s game. “There’s nothing I said that anybody was unaware of.”</p><p>Despite the Browns’ struggles, Garrett’s determination remains unwavering. He continues to build a Hall of Fame-caliber career, but his comments make it clear: he wants his legacy to include more than just personal accolades. “Winning is what it’s all about,” Garrett said. “And that’s what I want to focus on as we move forward.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His 37th, however, was one of his most memorable. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-throw-td-flat-on-face">Burrow managed to throw a touchdown to Tee Higgins</a> in the first quarter against the Cleveland Browns, even as he was falling to the ground.</p><h2><b>Tee Higgins praising Joe Burrow after his incredible pass</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Bengals-Tee-Higgins-and-Joe-Burrow-on-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After the game, Higgins <a href="https://x.com/ByJayMorrison/status/1870945864560394638" rel="noopener">praised his star quarterback,</a> drawing a comparison to a well-known superhero. He said, “Forget the Batmobile. That m*********** flying now. He’s Superman.” This statement was shared by Jay Morrison on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>Burrow stumbled over center Ted Karras as the pocket collapsed on first-and-goal, seemingly set to be brought down for a loss. However, he managed to find Higgins, releasing the ball just in time. Higgins hauled in the pass for a touchdown, giving the Bengals a 7-0 lead.</p><p>The Bengals star quarterback’s knees hit the turf before releasing the ball, prompting a review by officials. However, it didn’t affect the outcome. Since he tripped over a teammate and wasn’t touched by a defender as he fell, the play would not have been ruled down regardless. Officials confirmed the touchdown, giving the Bengals an early lead.</p><p>Burrow is having a season that could be MVP-worthy if the Bengals were more competitive. Heading into Sunday, he had completed 68.5% of his passes, averaging an NFL-best 284.1 yards per game, with 36 touchdowns and eight interceptions.</p><h2><b>Joe Burrow’s historic season with the Bengals</b></h2><p>The 28-year-old threw his 37th touchdown pass to Higgins, tying him with Lamar Jackson for the NFL lead. In the second quarter, he added his 38th touchdown to Andrei Iosivas, extending the Bengals’ lead to 14-0 and claiming the lead in passing touchdowns. Cincinnati went on to win 24-6.</p><p>If Burrow continues his current form, anything is within reach. With 4,229 yards and 39 touchdowns, he’s set a new Cincinnati franchise record for most touchdown passes in a season, surpassing his previous mark of 35.</p><p>Burrow surpassed 4,000 passing yards this season on the Bengals’ first offensive drive. He now has accomplished this feat three times (2021, 2022, 2024), the most in franchise history. Carson Palmer (2006, 2007) and Andy Dalton (2013, 2016) each did it twice during their careers in Cincinnati.</p><p>The Bengals star became just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to record at least 4,000 passing yards and 30 touchdown passes in three of his first five seasons, joining the ranks of Dan Marino, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen.</p><p>He also made NFL history as the first quarterback to throw for 250+ yards and 3+ touchdowns in seven consecutive games. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-enters-tom-brady-territory-another-monster-game">Burrow entered Sunday tied with Tom Brady</a> as one of only two quarterbacks to achieve those numbers in six straight games.The Bengals are 7-8 and face a difficult path to reach the playoffs, but Burrow continues to shine, delivering one of the best seasons of his career.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

When the Browns take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 17, head coach Kevin Stefanski isn’t trying to flip the script.</p><p>Stefanski announced that Thompson-Robinson <a href="https://x.com/MaryKayCabot/status/1870939581199360183" rel="noopener">will start</a> in Week 17 if healthy, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. The quarterback tweaked his calf in the first quarter, but was able to finish out the game.</p><p>While DTR is the presumed starter, he didn’t do much against the Bengals to instill confidence moving forward. The quarterback completed 20-of-34 passes for 157 scoreless yards and two interceptions. He had a long pass to tight end David Njoku for 29 yards, but no other pass over 20 yards. Overall, the Browns were unable to move the ball much against the Bengals.</p><p>Thompson-Robinson will now enter Week 17 with a 1-3 record as a starting NFL quarterback. Still, his numbers don’t point to someone manning the role for the Browns long-term. He entered Week 16 with 100 yards passing and three interceptions on the season. The 157 yards thrown were the second-highest of his career. However, Cleveland didn’t come close to earning a victory.</p><p>The final two weeks of the season will give the Browns a strong opportunity to see what they truly have in DTR. If he can turn things around and show some promise, maybe he can return in 2025 as a backup. Cleveland needs to evaluate their quarterback position overall<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-troy-aikman-harsh-deshaun-watson-reality-check"> based on Deshaun Watson’s play/health</a> issues. Thompson-Robinson won’t challenge him for the starting role, but he could remain in the quarterback mix with strong play.</p><p>At this stage of the season, Cleveland isn’t playing for much more than pride. Those plans didn’t come through against the Bengals, looking hapless on offense. Stefanski hasn’t given up hope and believes a Thompson-Robinson-led offense can still succeed.

Earlier this week, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/myles-garrett-drops-long-winded-answer-browns-future">Myles Garrett was asked about the future</a> of the team and said that he wanted to win at the end of the day.</p><p>Head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about Garrett’s comments and <a href="https://x.com/AkronJackson/status/1870940137808707654" rel="noopener">didn’t have much to say</a>.</p><p>“Anything with me and the players I keep between us,” Stefanski said via Browns reporter Zac Jackson.</p><p>Garrett mentioned that he wanted to see a plan from the Browns on where they’re heading in the future and how they can help him as well.</p><p>“First of all, I want to win,” Garrett said. “I want the Browns to put us in a position to win. When the season is over, I want the Browns to illustrate that to me.</p><p>“If they can show that they will put all the pieces in place do it in the near future. If we have that alignment and we have a great defense, have time of possession and a running game offense, that will keep my mind at rest. Not just me, a lot of guys on defense and the defensive line.”</p><h2>What direction are the Browns going in?</h2><p>The Browns have had a lot of things working against them this season, most notably at the quarterback position. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-dorian-thompson-robinson-reacts-named-cleveland-starter">Three quarterbacks have played</a> this season, which has led them to not having much consistency on the field. The same could be said about the defense, as they’ve had their moments as well.</p><p>It’ll be interesting to see what the team looks like next season and what they will do to try and improve the team. If they’re serious about contending, they’ll be aligned with some of the things that Myles Garrett desires.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Through two quarters, the Browns offense had been blanked in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-dorian-thompson-robinson-reacts-named-cleveland-starter">first start of the season for quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson</a>. However, there has been one noteworthy play in this game that Browns fans can get excited about, courtesy of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-myles-garrett-finally-breaks-through-wins-defensive-player-of-the-year">reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett</a>.</p><p>With a late-1st half sack of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Myles Garrett became the 66th player in NFL history to record 100 career sacks. However, this is only half of the story. With that sack, Garrett became the <i>youngest player </i>in league history to reach the 100 sack mark, hitting this impressive feat <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1870912113822322700" rel="noopener">before his 29th birthday</a>, per Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports.</p><p>Earlier this year, Pittsburgh Steelers star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-tj-watt-insane-nfl-milestone-100-sack-feat">TJ Watt became the most recent addition to the 100 sack club</a>, getting there in 109 career games, which is the second-fastest ever behind just Reggie White. At 114 games, Garrett is the fourth-fastest to 100 sacks, trailing only Watt, White, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-demarcus-ware-touching-tribute-teammates-passed-away-hall-of-fame-speech">Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware</a>, who reached the mark in the 113th game of his career.</p><p>Garrett, who with this sack also became just the second player in NFL history after Lawrence Taylor to record at least <a href="https://x.com/RuiterWrongFAN/status/1870912062408278448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1870912062408278448%7Ctwgr%5Ed36b6f470be531825abe5e4a7fb47a769592d2da%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fcleveland-browns" rel="noopener">12 sacks in five straight seasons</a>, made waves earlier this week when he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/myles-garrett-drops-long-winded-answer-browns-future">expressed some dissatisfaction with the Browns organization</a>, saying point blank that he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild. A statement like this one will surely lead to an offseason where there are rumors aplenty that the Browns could consider trading the five-time All-Pro defensive end.</p><p>If that’s the case, then Garrett, who is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-myles-garrett-trade-suitors-fishing-around-browns" rel="noopener">one of the most popular players in recent Browns history</a>, could play his final home game in Cleveland next Sunday afternoon against the Miami Dolphins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Instead, Dorian Thompson-Robinson is set to make his first start of the year against cross-town rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.</p><p>Winston, who had been <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1870727723578212358" rel="noopener">nursing a shoulder injury</a> all week, will serve as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback, per Ian Rapoport.

However, after being non-committal on a starter all week, Stefanski would also not guarantee that Winston will re-gain the starting job in any of the Browns’ three remaining games.</p><h2><b>Browns begin brutal three-game stretch to end 2024</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Dorian-Thompson-Robinson.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Browns have long been eliminated from the playoffs but were briefly one of the league’s hottest offenses with Winston at the helm.

While the Dolphins’ playoff hopes are on life support, the Ravens have already punched their ticket into the postseason and will be fighting for seeding.</p><p>The Ravens will have additional motivation for their Week 18 matchup after the way the first meeting ended.

Defensive end Myles Garrett has been the team’s best player throughout his eight years with the team.</p><p>Garrett is one of the elite pass rushers in the game. He has 11.0 sacks with three games to go in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-vs-bengals-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-16-2024">Browns season</a>, and he has registered double-digit sacks in every season but his rookie season of 2017 when he had 7.0 quarterback traps.</p><p>Garrett would like to continue his career with the Browns, but only if he is shown a convincing path that can turn them into legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The last thing he wants is to be a part of a rebuilding project.</p><h2><b>Garrett would like to hear the Browns plan at the end of the season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Myles-Garrett-is-clearly-one-of-the-most-dangerous-pass-rushers-in-the-NFL.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 28-year-old former No. 1 overall draft selection from Texas A&amp;M in 2017 would like to see a specific plan from the Browns that indicates they know what to do in order to turn the current team into a winner.</p><p>“First of all, I want to win,” <a href="https://x.com/RuiterWrongFAN/status/1870209490458415321/video/1">Garrett said</a>. “I want the Browns to put us in a position to win. When the season is over, I want the Browns to illustrate that to me.</p><p>“If they can show that they will put all the pieces in place do it in the near future. If we have that alignment and we have a great defense, have time of possession and a running game offense, that will keep my mind at rest. Not just me, a lot of guys on defense and the defensive line.”</p><p>The Browns have been to the playoffs twice during Garrett’s career. They surged last year and finished second in the division with an 11-5 record, and that appeared to be a solid jumping off point for the 2024 season.</p><p>However, the Browns opened the season with 6 losses in their first 7 games and have not been able to rally since then.</p><p>Garrett has two years remaining on a 5-year, <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/21742/myles-garrett">$125 million</a> contract with the Browns.

On Thursday, though, he found his name mentioned in a bombshell report on the New York Jets, which claimed that they backed out of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">trade for Jeudy</a> because owner Woody Johnson thought his rating in the popular “Madden” video game series was too low.</p><p>Amid what has been an absolutely miserable season for the Jets and their fans, it was another gut punch considering how good Jeudy has looked over the past couple of weeks. The star receiver himself <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jerry-jeudy-on-jets-madden-report-i-think-thats-fake-news" rel="noopener">isn’t buying the rumors</a>, though, as he thinks there’s no way any would actually turn down a trade because of a player’s “Madden” rating.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it. I think that’s fake news,” Jeudy said on 92.3 The Fan. “For real, why would somebody look at Madden ratings? Be real. I don’t think that’s real, but it is funny. I’m glad that I’m here. I’m glad my Madden rating was low. Yeah, got me here.”</p><h2><b>Jerry Jeudy happy to be with Browns amid Jets rumors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s no doubt the suggestion that the Jets turned down a trade for Jeudy because of his “Madden” rating is absurd, but if there’s one team who could believably be foolish enough to do that, it’s the Jets. And while Jeudy doesn’t seem to believe that actually happened, he probably doesn’t care too much because of the success that he’s enjoyed with the Browns.</p><p>Through 14 games, Jeudy has amassed 70 receptions for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down, even with the Browns having nothing left to play for. It’s fair to wonder how things would have gone for him if he landed in New York, but instead, he will be looking to keep his hot streak going when he takes the field in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Quarterback Joe Burrow notched his sixth straight game with at least 250 passing yards and three touchdowns, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-enters-tom-brady-territory-another-monster-game">joining Tom Brady as the only QB</a> to ever accomplish the feat. This week, Burrow surpassed Brady in ancient forms of respect, thanks to his skill as a giver of gifts.</p><p>Burrow <a href="https://x.com/pauldehnerjr/status/1869850895942594705" rel="noopener">presented his offensive linemen</a> with Japanese Katana swords for Christmas, per The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. Each sword is unique, and the Bengals’ linemen got to select which weapon they’d take home. Veteran tackle Orlando Brown Jr. noted, “Joe does a great job at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful… The fact that he bought me a sword, it’s the most ancient form of respect.”</p><p>The thoughtful gifts went over well with Burrow’s protectors, but the fifth-year passer might have been better served by arming his defense. Cincinnati has been a sieve this season, giving up the second-most points in the league and ranking 29th in yards allowed.</p><p>The porous defense has largely undermined an extraordinary season by Burrow. The Bengals’ star bounced back from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-major-declaration-injury-filled-2023">an injury-plagued 2023 campaign</a> to throw for a league-leading 3,977 yards and 36 touchdowns in 14 games this year. But the standout performance has only led to a 6-8 record, as Cincinnati is two games out of the final Wild Card berth with three games remaining.</p><h2><b>Joe Burrow is having the best, least memorable season imaginable</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Joe-Burrow_7aa471.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Nelles / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Last season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrows-bonkers-275-million-contract-details-come-light">Bengals signed Burrow to a five-year, $275 million contract</a>, which is a lot of money. So much money that it sometimes seems as if the Pro Bowl QB doesn’t know what to do with it. He’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/check-out-joe-burrows-incredible-373k-car-collection-with-photos">bought a bunch of cars</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-makes-batman-revelation">Batman’s car</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-ruthlessly-clowned-outfit-cowboys-clash">wretched outfits</a>. So it’s nice to see him spend some of that cash on undeniably awesome gifts for his teammates.</p><p>In Week 15, Burrow overcame an uncharacteristic three-turnover day to guide the Bengals to victory over the Titans. The teams combined for 10 turnovers – the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-titans-bengals-turnover-frenzy-not-seen-2007">most in an NFL game since 2007</a>.
