NFL fans believe that it was Joe Burrow who cussed out kicker Cade York on a hot mic during Saturday’s season-saving home win over the Denver Broncos.
Needing a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive, Joe Burrow led Cincinnati to a thrilling 30-24 home win in overtime that required his heroics on the team’s third possession in the extra frame. Burrow’s three-yard TD pass to Tee Higgins sealed the deal and bailed out York, who missed a game-winning 33-yarder on the previous Cincinnati drive.
If you listen closely, you can hear someone screaming, “One f**king job” moments after York’s 33-yarder hit the left upright. And fans think that it was actually Burrow, on a hot mic, delivering that message to York:
It was obviously a fan who screamed that angry message to York, but it’s still funny to think that a calm and collected guy like Joe Burrow would be the one to cuss out a teammate like that.
Joe Burrow & Bengals Live To Fight Another Day
Burrow finished the day with 412 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the victory. Cincy must defeat Pittsburgh next week, and then they’ll need a lot of help to sneak into the postseason.

That includes a Broncos’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18, though the defending champs are likely to rest key starters with the top seed locked up.

Denver Broncos quarterbacks Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson decided to spend the holiday season together with their partners.
Heading into training camp, veterans Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson and rookie Bo Nix (the No. 12 pick of the draft) had a three-man battle for the Broncos’ starting quarterback job. The gig was ultimately won by the rookie out of Oregon.
Sometimes, the nature of the QB competition can cause some rift between teammates. Steve Young and Joe Montana weren’t exactly best friends during their tenures in San Francisco, and Ben Roethlisberger had no interest in mentoring Mason Rudolph after the Pittsburgh Steelers used a 2018 third-round pick on him.
But it looks like the bond is awfully strong between Stidham, Wilson and Bo Nix. The quarterbacks, along with their wives and girlfriends, decided to spend the holiday season together with matching pajamas:
If that’s not the sign of a tight-knit quarterback room, what is?

The 24-year-old Bo Nix is having a phenomenal rookie season in Mile High City, completing 64.3 percent of pass attempts for 3,235 yards, 22 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions in 15 games.
Nix has already guided Denver (9-6) to their first winning season since 2016. They can clinch the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2015 with a victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, or against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.
Broncos Made The Right Decision With Bo Nix
Some questioned the Broncos’ decision to release Russell Wilson in the offseason. For one, he had a stellar bounce-back season under Sean Payton and nearly guided them to the playoffs a year ago. On top of that, Wilson cost them a whopping $85 million in dead money.
But it’s obvious that the Broncos knew what they were doing with Nix all along. Payton was adamant that he was the quarterback they wanted, and Nix’s production up to this point speaks for itself.
