Pat McAfee Makes Strong Statement on Burrow
During “Monday Night NFL Countdown” ahead of the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles game, prominent sports personality Pat McAfee, who is in his first season with the Countdown crew, shared some strong words about Burrow.
“Let’s talk about the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. Joey Burrow,” McAfee said on Monday night. “He had four touchdown passes in the second half against the Baltimore Ravens. Hasn’t happened since 2023. He had 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions on the road this season. Nobody else has that. This man is a stud, this man is a stallion, he had a perfect passer rating whenever the game mattered most. And then Ja’Marr Chase gave him a motivated speech at halftime and Joey Burrow said I got ya pal. 35-point swing, Cincinnati Bengals get a win and Joey Burrow might just be himmy!”
