Burrow's Flag Football Fall Sparks Olympic Talk

It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News today, driven by AI and Bill for football fans.

Bingles quarterback Joe Burrow jumped into the fanatics-flag football classic in Los Angeles on March 21st, and it turned way riskier then.

Anyone expected? He took some hard hits, dove for the in-zone, and even spun into a nasty fall that had everyone holding their breath.

Coach Zach Taylor Greenlit it, but admitted you can't predict how player like Joe goes full throttle to win.

Taylor was at the NFL annual meetings and skipped watching live, catching a college game instead to stay chill.

He said Joe's all-out style is what they love, but they dodged a bullet and now they're focused on the upcoming season.

No major harm done, just a close call, and a so-called low stakes game. Fans, coaches, and even the Fox broadcast crew freaked out with play-by-play guy Kevin Burkhart noting Bengal supporters yelling for Joe to ease, up.

It's extra tough because Burrow's battled injuries, his whole six-year career. ACL tear is a rookie, wrist ligament in 2024, and turf toe.

In 2025, that silent him nine gangs. Three surgeries already, so any tumble hits different.

Flag football is blowing up as a sport. Set to debut in the 2028 Olympics in LA after IOC approval in 2023.

That raises questions about Burrow suiting up for Team USA down the line.

Taylor laughed it off, calling any Olympic call a problem for Futures Act to handle.

For now, the Bengals are breathing easy and gearing up for football that counts.
