Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is known for his impressive performances on the field, but did you know he’s also a big fan of the popular video game “Star Wars Battlefront”?
And it seems that the Bengals star QB’s popularity is getting more and more intense over the years as he is making a name for himself getting in a small percentage of QBs this season, and thus making fans root more for him and his likings.

But while Burrow may enjoy his time playing “Star Wars Battlefront,” he’s also focused on leading the Cincinnati Bengals to a win in the upcoming Sunday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals are currently sitting at a record of 12-4 and are competing for a spot in Super Bowl LVII.
The Bengals and the Chiefs will be facing off on January 29th, 2023, and Burrow is determined to lead his team to victory. “If we didn’t win this one, I guess technically we would’ve won the division, but it wouldn’t have felt like it,” said Burrow.“So, it’s good to get this one. Gonna have to play better next week to get the win.”

The Kansas City Chiefs, on the other hand, have a strong team led by veteran quarterback Patrick Mahomes. They have a record of 14-3 and are one of the toughest Super Bowl competitors thus far. This match will be a tough test for the Bengals, but with Burrow at the helm, they have a chance to pull off an upset and secure a spot in the Super Bowl.
