“He reminds me of Brady, he reminds me of Montana”- Colin Cowherd in awe of Joe Burrow’s performance in comeback win over Tom Brady-led Buccaneers

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals pulled off a massive comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. The Bengals trailed by 17-3 heading into the second half, but Burrow, once again showed why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Burrow has often been compared to Tom Brady, and in this game, he played like him. The Bengals outscored the Bucs 31-6 in the second half and ran away with the game.

With the Bengals' win over the Buccaneers, they are once again favored in their Week 16 game against the New England Patriots:

Colin Cowherd is a big fan of Joe Burrow's game and was left in awe by the Bengals quarterback's performance against the Bucs. He even compared him to Tom Brady and Joe Montana.

Here's what he said about Joe Burrow on the Colin Cowherd podcast:

"Time and time and time and time again, He reminds me of Brady, he reminds me of Montana. He didn't have the physical stature of Allen, he didn't have the arm capability of Mahomes, but watching all three of these guys this weekend Mahomes was at 19 Straight completions. Insane."

Cowherd added:

"Allen, Saturday night and that snowstorm insane, and Joe, I think he's become the best situational thrower of the football. It's very Joe Montana, Joe Montana would get into a rhythm and Montana was like breeze but a little better athlete and a little bigger...."

The Cincinnati Bengals have won six straight games and are now 10-4. They are in a strong position to repeat themselves as the AFC North Champions and host a playoff game. Joe Burrow is slowly emerging as an MVP candidate, and it looks like the reigning AFC Champions will be the team to watch out for in the playoffs.

Joe Burrow's stats against the Buccaneers in Week 15

Joe Burrow: Cincinnati Bengals v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Burrow didn't play well in the first half of the game, but as we have seen throughout the season, once he gets going, he is hard to stop. That is exactly what happened in Week 15.

Burrow ended the game with 27/39 competitions for 200 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw an interception, but it was an exceptional performance overall.

The Bengals will face the New England Patriots next week. Burrow and company are -3.5 favorites against the Patriots, and it will be interesting to see if the Bengals QB will be able to put on a show against them.
