Joe Burrow spent two seasons with the LSU Tigers, winning a Heisman Trophy and the national championship in 2019. The Cincinnati Bengals superstar is the last quarterback to lead the Tigers to a national championship.In a recent press conference, Burrow was asked about Lane Kiffin joining his old team amid Ole Miss' high playoff hopes. The two-time Comeback Player of the Year replied,"Yeah, it's certainly not an ideal situation. But, uh, does the rest of the staff stay, or do they go too?"When a reporter replied in the negative, Burrow added,"It's certainly not an ideal situation for a playoff run. That's for sure."The Lane Kiffin to LSU saga has dominated the college football news cycle for the last two weeks. Kiffin was approached by LSU while guiding the Ole Miss Rebels to a playoff berth, and he eventually accepted their offer after a Week 14 win over Mississippi State.The Ole Miss Rebels opted against Kiffin leading them through the playoffs after it became clear that he'd be joining LSU. The Rebels have since promoted defensive coordinator Pete Golding to full-time head coach. They're now waiting for their first-round opponents.Joe Burrow and the Bengals remain in the playoff pictureWhile Joe Burrow's college team is celebrating a major coaching hire, Joe Burrow and his teammates in Cincinnati are clinging to fading playoff hopes. The Bengals (4-8) are behind both the Baltimore Ravens (6-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6) in the AFC North.The Bengals suffered eight losses in the nine games that Burrow missed this season due to a toe injury. Zac Taylor's team is unbeaten in games that Burrow has played, and they're up against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.Joe Burrow will fancy his chances in that game as he looked good on his return from injury in Week 13. The LSU Tigers product posted a stat line of 261 passing yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He was sacked a season low once against the Baltimore Ravens.Furthermore, the Bengals are up against a Bills team struggling for consistency. Josh Allen and Co. are 3-2 in their last five contests. If there's a great time to play the Bills, it's at this point in time.
