Did Joe Burrow just send a message to Bengals fans?

Fans could read this message from Joe Burrow a few different ways.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow put the team on notice after the Week 13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But he also appears to have shot a message at fans.

As fans caught on social media on Monday, Burrow reshared a story on Instagram that featured a quote from himself: “Still an exciting opportunity to pay for this team and this city every week…that’s something that I don’t take for granted.”

Burrow resharing something the team’s account put out on social media isn’t all that uncommon. For all fans know, he doesn’t even control his Instagram, right?

But there’s another angle to this — fans could easily view this as Burrow confirming he hears the noise and feels the anxiety of a city that has had star quarterbacks in the past say goodbye earlier than expected.

Burrow, the hometown Ohio product, though, isn’t going to be one of those.
