Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow closed the 2025 NFL season in strong form, throwing four touchdowns in a 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins before guiding a commanding 37-14 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. His four-touchdown showing in Miami even earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. The performance was especially meaningful given that the 29-year-old missed nine games earlier that season with a turf toe injury.
Now deep into the offseason, fresh photos from Los Angeles are making headlines that have nothing to do with football.
