The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the few teams in the league that have managed to stay mostly healthy amid an NFL-wide COVID-19 surge.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Bengals had just one player on their reserve/COVID-19 list.
Quarterback Joe Burrow has a pretty good reason why that is — though southwest Ohio residents may not be too happy with it.
“Fortunately, there’s not a ton to do in Cincinnati,” he said Wednesday, via ESPN.
While a small market town like Cincinnati doesn’t have the draws that the league’s top markets do, and that can be seen as a bad thing to plenty of players, Burrow actually credits it for the team’s health.
