The Cincinnati Bengals are having a difficult time on the field after suffering back-to-back losses. Getting back on track has become an urgent priority for the team and their quarterback Joe Burrow. However, while the team continues to struggle on the field, Burrow provided a lighthearted moment during his latest interaction with the media.
During a recent press conference, one reporter asked Burrow if there was anything in particular that “galled” him coming out of the game. Burrow appeared unfamiliar with the word and paused to make sure he understood exactly what the reporter was asking before seeking clarification.
“That what?” Burrow asked.
The reporter then repeated the phrase, saying, “Galled you.” Burrow still wasn't familiar with the word and responded with a humorous comment.
“I don't know that one. You'll have to bring the Websters out,” Burrow said.
The brief exchange quickly became a lighthearted moment amid a difficult stretch for the Bengals. After opening the season with a 2-0 record, Burrow and his team have since lost their momentum and dropped two straight games.

Burrow put together a stellar performance in the matchup, throwing three touchdown passes without an interception. However, his strong outing ultimately wasn't enough to prevent Cincinnati from suffering its first loss of the season.
Things remained difficult in Week 4 when the Bengals returned home to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium. Burrow completed 39 of 54 attempts for 428 yards and one passing touchdown. However, his two interceptions and Cincinnati's inability to finish a late comeback ultimately resulted in another loss.
Now, Burrow and the Bengals will look to put an end to their losing streak when they take on the Miami Dolphins. Cincinnati will need its franchise quarterback to continue producing at a high level while finding a way to turn his individual production into wins.
