Before the Cincinnati Bengals collided with and beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there was plenty of speculation about how quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Tom Brady would interact after the game.
Buy Bengals TicketsSo much so, Burrow fielded a question and made it clear he wasn’t going to ask for an autograph or a jersey swap with one of the best ever.
No shocker there — Burrow’s all business. When he helped the Bengals win their first playoff game in 30-plus years, he said it wasn’t good enough. When a Chiefs defender talked trash, he didn’t respond until after beating Patrick Mahomes and Co. for the third time in the 20222 calendar year.
Fast forward to after Burrow threw four scores in the comeback win over the Bucs, the post-game footage of his handshake with Brady is hilarious.
As Kay Adams pointed out, Burrow gave it the briefest bit of attention before getting back to other guys:

That’s ice cold, yet falls right in line with Burrow’s character. The man he’s often compared to is very similar, so Brady probably understands.
