These days, Cincinnati Bengals fans are used to wincing whenever Joe Burrow<\/a> is in the game out of fear that he’s going to take a hit that’ll knock him out of action.<\/p>\n However, that’s normally only from September until \u2014 let’s be honest, here \u2014 about early January. But this year, Bengals fans had to sweat it well into March, and it was all thanks to flag football.<\/p>\n Burrow was one of a bunch of NFL stars who took part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Field in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Learn More About The Ultimate College Hoops Experience<\/a><\/p>\n While the risk of injury is never zero, it was certainly going to be lower than it would be in an NFL game.<\/p>\n Especially an NFL game played behind a leaky offensive line.<\/p>\n But these guys were playing hard, and that meant Burrow took a shot that had to put Bengals<\/a> fans’ hearts in their throats.<\/p>\n First of all, I think we need to let Fanatics put together the Pro Bowl, because this game had guys laying out for touchdowns, giving the refs an earful if they didn’t get flags, and even a multi-week beef between Tom Brady and WWE superstar Logan Paul<\/a>?<\/p>\n What did the Pro Bowl have? I think the highlight was Micah Parsons on a scooter.<\/p>\n Anyway, back to Burrow\u2026<\/p>\n Given his history of injury \u2014 and how rough it is for the team without him \u2014 Bengals fans were not loving this.<\/p>\n But guess what, Bengals fans? If it’s up to Burrow, this is far from the end of his flag football exploits.<\/p>\n LA28, anyone?!<\/p>\n
