Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning’s family watched from a suite as he led the team to a 34-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
After the game, he revealed that it was all because of Joe Burrow.
“Well first of all, it is not my box,” Browning said. “I did not buy that in the preseason — it’s very expensive. So, Joe Burrow was nice enough to give them some tickets so they didn’t have to sit up in the cold. We’re all from California, so I’m used to it, they’re not. I’m sure they were much more excited in the box. It’s awesome to have them here. I think it was two friends from back home, my girlfriend, and then my brother, my sister and my sister’s boyfriend. It’s always nice to have people there, and it’s mostly nice after you win to go grab dinner or something somewhere.”
That’s an awesome gesture from Burrow to offer up the box, and he once again spent time on the sideline with his teammates despite sitting on injured reserve after season-ending surgery.
As for Browning, he had another big outburst while steering the Bengals to a second straight win, totaling 275 yards and two touchdowns through the air and a score on the ground.
