Are Cincinnati Bengals fans ready for their team to Turn Heel?

Fans of professional wrestling will know that the term “turning heel” describes when an individual changes their persona from a good guy or “baby face” to a bad guy or “heel”. Ready or not, the Cincinnati Bengals and their fans may be in store for a cultural and generational shift.

Football teams tend to take on the persona of their leaders, and there is no bigger leader in an NFL locker room than the quarterback. Now I’m not saying that Joe Burrow is a “bad guy”, but when compared to the Bengals current locker room leaders, Burrow is as bad boy as they come.
