Joe Burrow is smart enough to learn from his Super Bowl loss.

As Burrow marinated on Cincinnati’s 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night, he remembered something Kurt Warner said during the documentary.

Joe Burrow recently watched “A Football Life: Kurt Warner.”

“He said they let it sting too much,” Burrow recalled. “They didn’t celebrate what they accomplished. Obviously it stings, but we had a great year, didn’t come out this last game the way we wanted to, but I think we still have something to celebrate.”

Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor said there is still plenty to be proud of for this team, which won two games two years ago and four last year before winning the AFC North this season and going on a memorable postseason run.

“We’ve been working for the last six months, played 21 games, and then you lose the Super Bowl, it’s not a lot of fun,” Taylor said. But he expressed a fondness for this roster. “Proud of them. Special group. It stings right now, but you gotta find a way to really cherish what this group had together. It’s a special group. It’s rare that you get to coach a team like this. This team means a lot. I’m proud of the way they fought. I thought they did a lot for our team, our organization, and for our city. And they need to be proud of that.”

Burrow appeared in the postgame in the same black and silver suit he wore into SoFi Stadium, with no visible sign of a brace.

There’s no doubt Joe will one day win a Super Bowl. The guy is the real deal.
