Rob Gronkowski: Joe Burrow will 'decimate' the Baltimore Ravens

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 1/12/23

The Bengals (12-4) are red hot, seeming almost unstoppable heading into the playoffs. And former TE Rob Gronkowski believes their win streak will continue on Wild Card weekend.

"[Joe Burrow] is gonna decimate the Baltimore Ravens defense," Gronkowski said on "Up & Adams." "They can sign whoever they want for $100 million, it's not gonna stop Joe Burrow."

The Ravens (10-7) signed LB Roquan Smith to a 5-year, $100 million contract extension on Tuesday, however, Burrow always seems to get his.

Burrow, who has been in the MVP conversation for a large part of the season, ranks second in the NFL in passing touchdowns (35) and fifth in passing yards (4,475), per NFL.com.

Cincinnati just defeated Baltimore 27-16 in Week 18, and QB Lamar Jackson's status is trending down as he is facing an "uphill battle" to play.

"Joe Burrow is going to decimate your secondary. He did it last week. He's gonna do it again," Gronkowski finished. "Baltimore is gonna go home disappointed and Joe Burrow is going to lead them on another deep playoff run."

The Ravens did defeat the Bengals 19-17 in Week 5 when Jackson was available. But if Baltimore is without Jackson once again, Gronkowski's prediction will likely come true.
