Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow doesn’t usually use profanity in press conferences with the media.
But Burrow took it there this week before Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers thanks to a smart question about No. 1 target Ja’Marr Chase.
Asked about how Chase might tell the star quarterback to get him the ball more, among other things, Burrow said that “There’s a lot of different ways that a receiver can tell ya ‘get me the (expletive) ball.'”
Burrow was joking, of course, and said that receivers can even go through the media to ask for more looks on the field.
How rare is Burrow cussing? A few days later, Chase himself didn’t believe that it happened — until reporters showed him the footage, as captured by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media:
