In the aftermath of a narrow 26-25 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow expressed his frustration over missing opportunities that could have secured a victory. Despite a stronger performance than in their previous game, the Bengals fell to 0-2, a familiar plight for them over recent seasons.

Burrow, who completed 23 of 36 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns, lamented not doing enough to win, pointing to critical moments, including a costly fumble and a late pass-interference call. Cincinnati's offense showed promise with contributions from multiple receivers, but the defense struggled against the run.
