Bengals legend Willie Anderson is racing to Joe Burrow‘s safety … telling TMZ Sports actions anyone who’s blaming Cincinnati’s early season woes on the quarterback is flat-out unsuitable.

The earlier offensive lineman snapped on the JB haters all through an interview with us on Tuesday — some 24 hours after the Bengals fell to 0-3 with a “Monday Night time Soccer” loss to the Commanders.

“That is ridiculous, bro,” Anderson suggested us of the Burrow criticism. “Like, they’re in these video games due to him. It is simply completely ridiculous.”

However Anderson clearly wouldn’t assume the ex-LSU star is the difficulty the least bit … explaining accidents on the workforce’s safety — along with an absence of transfer rush — are the precise factors.

“To look at the sport [Monday] evening,” he said, “and to say that any blame needs to be placed on Joe Burrow [Monday] evening if you rating 30-something factors — it is simply plain ridiculous.”

The Bengals will get a shot to indicate it spherical in just a few days — they play the Panthers on Sunday morning — and, primarily based on Anderson, Burrow’s one in every of many largest causes followers must be optimistic a change shall be flipped rapidly.
