Joe Burrow has tweeted for the first time in two years.
The former LSU Tigers and Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback, who now stars for the Cincinnati Bengals, had last posted a tweet of his own in April of 2024. The tweet: "18 games? 2 bye weeks." It was in response to the idea of the NFL going to an 18-game schedule. Clearly, he wasn't a huge fan of it.
This time, Burrow posted a tweet in regards to the controversial "catch" calls from the weekend.
"The amount of ppl that don’t understand what a catch is in the rule book flabbergasts me. And it’s not the officials. The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls, and they got them both right," he wrote.
Burrow was posting his tweet in response to the controversial calls in the Bills at Broncos game and Bears vs. Rams game.
There were multiple controversial calls.
It's easy to make these calls with screenshots, though. NFL referees are making the calls based on real time action and then complete replay.
A screenshot isn't going to tell you everything.
