Joe Burrow says Super Bowl vs. Rams had ‘dinner party’ vibes
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals survived vicious playoff road environments in Tennessee and Kansas City en route to the Super Bowl.
But that Super Bowl, which should have been a similar vibe because it was home base of the Los Angeles Rams, didn’t come close to being a hostile environment.
Just ask Burrow, who had some funny comments about the game during a recent appearance on “The Colin Cowherd Podcast,” this week.
“It felt like the dinner party, and we were the entertainment,” Burrow said. “Because, I mean, you come off a road game in Kansas City, a road game in Tennessee, and then your first home win in the playoffs in 30-something years. And then you go to the Super Bowl, and it’s more corporate. It just took a second to get used to. It didn’t feel like a playoff football game. It was a weird feeling at the beginning for sure.”
That’s not an uncommon thing for Super Bowls, which become overpriced events most common fans don’t actually get to attend because of the way ticket prices boom. If anything, it might have helped Burrow and a younger Bengals roster to remain composed despite the importance of the stage.
As an aside, the Rams are having problems with their home crowds again to start the season, too, so maybe the issue was more pronounced in Los Angeles.
