Joe Burrow led the Cincinnati Bengals to a 37-27 win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. The Bengals are now 6-8 on the season, and this latest win has kept them alive in the playoff race.
Burrow is having the best season of his career. He looked good against the Titans but committed multiple turnovers. He was also spotted having a heated conversation with his head coach, and the video went viral.
Joe Burrow’s NSFW Rant Went Viral in Week 15
Burrow was 26 of 37 against the Titans for 271 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also fumbled the ball, and due to his mistakes and the defense’s ongoing struggles, the game was much closer than it should have been.
In the video, which was all over social media, the Bengals quarterback was spotted saying, “f***ing embarrassing… f**k that,” in a conversation with Zac Taylor. Not much is known about why Burrow was upset.

Frustration is growing for Burrow as the team has wasted an all-time great season from him. Had the defense been slightly better, Cincinnati would have been in a firm position to make the playoffs.
The Bengals star is having an MVP-esque season, but due to his team’s poor record, he is not even among the top candidates to win the award. He has thrown for 3,977 yards, 36 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games this season while completing 68.5% of his throws.
Out of the eight losses the Bengals have suffered this season, six have come when the offense has scored 25+ points. Burrow has made it clear that he wants the franchise to keep both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. If Cincinnati fails to offer them extensions, they will burn another bridge with their quarterback, which could affect the dynamic between Burrow and the front office.
Joe Burrow Demands Tee Higgins, Fans React
NFL insider Ari Meirov fired up the conversation on X with a spicy post: Burrow sent a not-so-subtle message to the Bengals’ front office — re-sign Higgins.
Speaking to the media, Burrow made it crystal clear: he’d be “very disappointed” if the team let Higgins walk when free agency hits this offseason.
And oh boy, the fan reactions were as chaotic as a 4th-and-goal scramble.
