The gift was in response to a comment Burrow made Wednesday about the nightlife in Cincinnati when explaining how he thought the team had avoided a massive COVID-19 outbreak so far this season.
“We’ve done a great job with our COVID protocols,” Burrow said in a news conference Wednesday. “Fortunately, there’s not a ton to do in Cincinnati, so nobody’s going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend.”
