Joe Burrow’s Mom Packed His Bags For Madrid, And Nobody In The League Is Ready For What Comes Next

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, 29, let it slip to reporters on Friday, Nov. 6, that his personal stylist and his own mother handled the packing for his big international trip to Madrid. Yeah, you read that right. The guy who shredded defenses for 462 yards and five touchdowns last Sunday had his bags packed for him, and he wasn’t shy about admitting it.

“Least Favorite Thing In The World”

Burrow apparently has a kryptonite, and it’s not a blitzing linebacker. According to NBC 5 Cincinnati’s Charlie Clifford, the superstar QB confessed that packing is his “least favorite thing in the world.” So, while the rest of us are folding socks, Burrow’s found a way around that particular chore. He’s clearly focused on the bigger picture, like, you know, throwing absolute dimes and exploring new cities.

First International Game, Big Momentum

This trip to Spain isn’t just a vacation for Burrow. It’s his first NFL international game, marking another huge milestone in his career. The Bengals are set to face the Atlanta Falcons at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium this Sunday, Nov. 8. And Burrow’s been looking forward to this journey for a while, telling Bengals.com back in May, “I hope we go out early in the week so we can experience it a little bit.” He’s clearly soaking it all in, disclosing that he’s enjoyed exploring Madrid’s museums. “This is somewhere that I’ve always wanted to go… It really is a dream come true,” he said.

But it’s not just about the sightseeing. Burrow is coming off one of his strongest performances of the season, a truly insane outing where he not only torched Tennessee for 462 yards and five touchdowns through the air, but he also clinched the game with a rushing touchdown in overtime. Talk about a statement game!

Now, the 29-year-old signal-caller is looking to keep that insane momentum flowing when Cincinnati battles Atlanta. Catch the Bengals vs. Falcons game Sunday, Nov. 8 at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network. He might have help with his luggage, but Burrow is all business on the field, and the league better be ready.
