Joe Burrow is like the rest of us this year, watching Championship Sunday action and posting on social media.
Burrow isn’t the most prolific poster, but he felt the need to weigh in on one of the more controversial calls in the AFC Championship Game. When Baltimore WR Zay Flowers was flagged for taunting, Burrow posted that taunting should be allowed without players being penalized.
Let the guys taunt.

Flowers got a taunting flag for his actions after making a 54-yard reception. The flag took 15 years off the big gainer.

The possession ended in disaster for Baltimore. On a red zone pass, Flowers fumbled before crossing the goal line, which was recovered by the Chiefs for a touchback, keeping points off the board.

Burrow will hope to be playing in late January next year instead of watching from the couch. The former LSU quarterback was lost for the rest of the season in November due to a wrist injury. The Bengals finished with a 9-8 record.
Cincinnati has been a regular contender with Burrow. The Bengals reached the Super Bowl in 2022 and played in the AFC Championship Game last season.
