Joe Burrow's WR3 makes bold Super Bowl statement 4 months after Bengals' failure to make playoffs - "Very much within our grasp"

Joe Burrow put together an incredible statistical season with the Cincinnati Bengals last year, but they still missed out on the NFL Playoffs. They will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing result as they pursue becoming true Super Bowl contenders once again.

One of his wide receivers, Andrei Iosivas, spoke with Jeremy Rauch of Fox19 on Tuesday and discussed their lofty aspirations in the coming season. He has faith that the Bengals will get back on track and explained that the presence of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will play a major role.

"We all make each other better," Iosivas said. "Everybody can learn something from one another, so it's just a great environment to learn in and to grow in and to be competitive in. The goal is the Super Bowl, so I think with us three there, the Super Bowl is very much within our grasp."

The Bengals made an appearance in the Super Bowl for the 2021 NFL season, but were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams. Iosivas was not yet with the team, but Chase and Higgins were already on the roster.

Both Chase and Higgins signed contract extensions in Cincinnati in March, so Joe Burrow will have a strong supporting cast to work with going forward. They have missed out on making it to the playoffs in each of their two years since losing to the Rams, but they are hoping for better results in the 2025 NFL season.

Bengals Super Bowl odds for 2025 NFL season

The Cincinnati Bengals have the eighth-best odds of winning the Super Bowl for the 2025 NFL season, according to Vegas Insider and most sportsbooks' odds. Their current line sits around +2000 to win a ring, which would potentially be their first in franchise history.

The issue with their outlook this year is that they play in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, as well as the generally more difficult conference to get through.

They have just the second-best odds in the AFC North, trailing the Baltimore Ravens, while also trailing the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC landscape. They have slightly better odds than the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos, but both of those teams made it to the playoffs last year.
