The 2023-24 NFL season has gotten off to a sensational start to say the least. Several brilliant performances have highlighted the opening night of the league this year. However, while some players enjoyed career nights, some suffered all-time lows. The highest paid player in the NFL, Joe Burrows faced one such underwhelming night to begin the 2023-24 season. However, this served as a cause for celebration for LeBron James.

LeBron James’ love for football runs deep. He has followed the NFL for years, also famously receiving offers to play in the league. However, in all these years of following the sport, his admiration of Deion Sanders has not wavered. The 38-year-old has been an ardent fan of the NFL legend even years after his retirement. However, seems like Joe Burrow does not draw the same attention Sanders does from The King.

Joe Burrow’s career low is a cause for celebration for LeBron James

It has been 5 years since LeBron James ditched his hometown team, Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Los Angeles Lakers. However, his loyalty to his hometown has not wavered yet. The 38-year-old is still a loyal fan of the Cleveland Browns, the team he grew up supporting since childhood. Hence, Burrow’s career-low delighted The Kid From Akron.

Cleveland Browns took on Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals on opening night of the 2023-24 NFL season. The game that was expected to be a thrilling encounter ended in a very surprising manner. The Browns blew out the Bengals 24-3, much to the credit of the Bengals’ star quarterback, Burrow’s underwhelming  performance.

LeBron James shared the Browns’ post of this very victory on his Instagram stories to celebrate. While James and the Browns rejoiced their victory, Burrow had a lot to introspect upon.

Burrow had a disastrous opening night where the chaos began early in the game. The first half witnessed Burrow complete just six out of 14 passes for 36 yards and zero touchdowns. He ended the game completing only 14 out of 31 passes for 82 yards, with a passer rating of 52.2. Naturally, Burrow’s opening night disaster came in James’ interests.
