Everyone Is Worried about Joe Burrow after His Latest Press Conference Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons [VIDEO]

NFL fans are concerned that Joe Burrow is broken after his disheartening press conference on Wednesday.

Joe Burrow missed nine games after suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was Burrow’s second significant injury in six years, as he suffered season-ending knee and wrist injuries in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

The Bengals went 1-8 in games without Burrow. A surprise midseason trade for Joe Flacco did nothing to change their fortuns. But he’s 3-1 in his four starts, and it should be 4.0. Unfortunately, his defense hardly showed up in a 39-34 road loss to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Joe Burrow stressed that he has “to have fun” if he’s going to continue playing football. Burrow acknowledged that he has “a lot of things going on” per The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr.:

“If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing this. I have been through a lot. If it’s not fun, then what am I doing it for? That is the mindset I am trying to bring to the table. There are just a lot of things going on right now. A lot of things going on.”

Burrow answered, “all of the above,” when asked if his struggles were related to football or his personal life.

I don’t like the vibes. Not a bit.

I pray to all religious figures out there that this organization does not break this man.

“😬😬😬 80% of this press conference is pretty concerning. Also what happened in the beginning? Did he actually leave and have to come back?” asked a user.
