Joe Burrow Says Bengals Players Haven’t Gotten COVID-19 Because There’s Nothing To Do In Cincinnati

It seems as if every hours on the hour for the past two weeks, a new catch of NFL players become ineligible for their team’s next game due to either contracting COVID-19 or having protocols force them to sit.

One of those not on that list is Joe Burrow, who says there’s something that has helped him and his team from getting the virus, and it’s not a mask. The Bengals QB and Ohio native says that living in Cincinnati and practically having little reason to go out and mingle/party has helped them not suffer the same fate as many other teams.

We think Baker Mayfield and the Browns over in Cleveland would like to differ.
