Rich Eisen asked Burrow about the interaction. The Bengals star ended any speculation with his answer.
“Well, we had talked to each other before the game,” Burrow said. “After a game like that, not much to say. I got a lot of respect for him, I think he has a lot of respect for me. Sometimes you talk to guys, sometimes you don’t. We had seen each other before the game so no big deal.”
