Watch Super Bowl LVI from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles live on Sky Sports NFL on Sunday; AFC’s Cincinnati Bengals vs. NFC’s Los Angeles Rams (starting at 11:30 pm), streaming live from 10:00 pm.
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zack Taylor says his quarterback Joe Barrow is “made for this stage” ahead of Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night, where they face the Los Angeles Rams.
“I think that was his expectation all along. He is not surprised by this.
“He’s coming to these occasions and we’re certainly happy to have him.”
Burrow addressed the confidence he exudes as a player when Sky Sports NFL’s Neil Reynolds asked where it came from? “I’ve always been a confident player,” Barrow replied.
“Now more than ever before because I feel like I’ve proven to myself that I can play at a high level in this level of football.”
Burrow added, “I think it’s very important for a quarterback to exude that confidence not only in himself, but in all of his teammates.
“The quarterback sets the tone for locker room culture, so I try to be that player and that person for everyone here.”
Burrow is an Ohio native and also spoke of his excitement at leading the Bengalis to the Super Bowl for only the third time in their history – and the first time since the 1988 season.
“I’m very proud to be from Ohio and a Bengals quarterback,” he told reporters.
