In the aftermath of Super Bowl LVI, it’s quite clear the Cincinnati Bengals need to fix the offensive line in front of Joe Burrow right now.

He’s not going to have a long career in the NFL if he keeps getting sacked.

Burrow was just sacked 70 times, the third-most in a season ever. Only David Carr in 2002 (76) and Randall Cunningham in 1986 (72) were sacked more in a season.

So now, the comparison. Over their first 30 games, the two quarterbacks registered the following sack totals:

Andrew Luck: 73 sacks
Joe Burrow: 102 sacks

Hall-Of-Fame executive Bill Polian hopes Joe Burrow doesn’t turn into the next Andrew Luck.

It’s now a thing:

Burrow already suffered the knee injury last year and another in the Super Bowl.

They better beef up their O-Line this offseason…
