The Cincinnati Bengals weren’t at the Super Bowl this year, but fans were in the area, if not attending the game itself.
And of course, at least one donned a Joe Burrow jersey.
While the Kansas City Chiefs were about to go on and win the Super Bowl over the San Francisco 49ers fueled by a superstar quarterback by the name of Patrick Mahomes, at least one Bengals fan modified a certain No. 9 jersey to get the name “Burrow” on the back.
Here’s a quick snap of the jersey out in the wild, courtesy of Will Brinson of CBS Sports:

That No. 9 jersey many Bengals fans still have tucked away will continue to see some work in the coming weeks and months before the draft — though actual Burrow Bengals jerseys have been spotted out in the wild.
The offseason promise and potential of Burrow uplifting the Bengals in a similar manner Mahomes did for Kansas City is what made Sunday’s Super Bowl especially fun to watch. That, and for Bengals fans, it probably doesn’t hurt seeing the 49ers take a loss in the big one.
