A lack of nightlife in Cincinnati has helped the Bengals stay healthy as other teams have faced COVID-19 breakouts, quarterback Joe Burrow suggested Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters at a news conference ahead of the team's crucial matchup against the Ravens next Sunday, Burrow smiled as he joked the city's social calendar has given Bengals players a bit of an advantage this season.
"We're a healthy team, which not a lot of people can say this far into the season," Burrow said. "We've been lucky as far as injuries and COVID. We're doing a great job with our COVID protocols. Fortunately, there's not a ton to do in Cincinnati ... so nobody's going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend."
The Bengals are currently in first place of the AFC North with three games remaining in the regular season.
ESPN Bengals reporter Ben Baby shared Burrow's comments on Twitter, which received mixed reactions from users online.
