Bengals QB Joe Burrow on real diamond necklace: 'I make too much money to have fake ones'
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow answered several questions about his "JB9" diamond necklace that he wore as he addressed reporters after Cincinnati's 27-24 overtime win against the Chiefs in Kansas City in Sunday's AFC championship game.
"I make too much money to have fake ones, so they're real," Burrow said with a laugh before asking what the next question was.
Burrow used his arm and legs to help the Bengals score 21 unanswered points to overcome an 18-point deficit.
Burrow completed 23 of 38 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns and one interception on the day, helping the Bengals punch their Super Bowl ticket for the first time in 33 years.
