He would look great in a different shade of orange in my opinion
Sideline reporter in the Cincy game just said Burrow is gonna meet up with Matthew Stafford after the season to ask him how he was able to rejuvenate his career and uhhhhhhh
If the Rams win it all, Stafford will be back. But if he retires, I could see Les and Sean trading away both first round picks plus a haul to get Burrow on their roster. I don't think the Bengals are dumb enough to do it but you know Les "Fuck Them Picks" Snead is gonna make a call

There's been a change in the official stats from that Josh Allen sack in the 2nd quarter. It's been taken away from Mason Graham and split between Alex Wright and Myles Garrett. Myles Garrett is now at 22 sacks for the season, and needs 1 to break the NFL single-season record.
