A big reason the Cincinnati Bengals haven't made the playoffs in the last three seasons is Joe Burrow's injury issues. Oh, and a dreadful defense. Oh, and awful showings in the NFL Draft by Duke Tobin and the NFL's most under-manned scouting department.
That last fact bears repeating at every turn until the Bengals actually do something about it.
There's a somewhat common phrase that applies here. "Play stupid games; win stupid prizes." in Cincinnati's case, cheap out on your resources to evaluate personnel; see corresponding losses and wasted prime Burrow years pile up.
