Ja’Marr Chase’s question prompted profanity from Joe Burrow at press time

Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow does not usually use profanity during press conferences with the media.

But Burrow got it there this week before Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers thanks to a smart question about No. 1 target Ja’Marr Chase.

When asked how Chase could tell the star quarterback to give him the ball more, Burrow said, in part, “There’s a lot of different ways a receiver can tell you ‘give me the (expletive) ball.'”

Burrow was, of course, joking, saying receivers can even ask through the media for more looks on the field.

How Rare Is Burrow Swearing? A few days later, Chase himself didn’t believe it had happened — until reporters showed him the footage, captured by CLNS Media’s Mike Petraglia:
