  • Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals lost Super Bowl LVI to Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 23-20.
  • Following the game, the two signal-callers met on the field to exchange congratulations and pleasantries. .
  • Stafford, a 13-year NFL veteran, was full of praise for Burrow, who just completed his second season in the league.

While it took Matthew Stafford 13 seasons in the National Football League to reach and win the Super Bowl, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow made his way to the big game in just his second season.

This accomplishment obviously helped Burrow earn Stafford’s respect, as the veteran signal-caller was full of praise for the young gunslinger when the pair met at midfield following the conclusion of Super Bowl LBI.

“Great job, brother,” Stafford told Burrow.

“You’re a hell of a player. You got a great future, man,” the newly crowned Super Bowl winner told the Bengals’ QB. “Love competing against you. You just keep being you, buddy.”

NFL cameras caught tons more awesome behind-the-scenes moments from the game, including Burrow bemoaning the fact that he’s still battling acne at the age of 25-years-old:

Despite the loss in the Super Bowl, the Bengals are certainly well positioned to contend in the AFC in the coming years as second-year signal-caller Joe Burrow established himself as one of the game’s elite quarterbacks during the team’s postseason run. During his second year in the league — and the first in which he played in all of the regular season games — the former Heisman Trophy winner completed 366 of 520 passes for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.

As things currently stand, the bookmakers have the Cincinnati Bengals tied with the San Francisco 49ers with +1400 odds to win next year’s Super Bowl, which makes the AFC North champs one of the top six favorites to lift the 2022-23 Lombardi Trophy. Ahead of the Bengals are the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys.
