This time last week Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals were watching football from their couch after falling to the Baltimore Ravens in a thrilling Thursday night showdown.

The game wasn't without controversy, though. On one of the final plays of the game the Bengals decided to go for a two-point conversion and the win. In the end, the two-point conversion failed, but not before Burrow was hit in the face by a Ravens defender.

"They call it like they see it. I respect that," head coach Zac Taylor said of the officials after the game. "I just got to keep fighting for some of that stuff. You don't want to lose him on a [hit] that's well after the play's over."

"I've got to fight harder for Joe to get some of that. Because he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to disrupt from his flow in the game, but that's just things I got to talk with him about."

Burrow admitted he's never received those calls so he's not too worried about it.

"I feel like I have never gotten those calls," Burrow said. "So I don't really expect that. I feel like there were a couple that were close. Again, I don't expect those."

Fast forward to just over a week later, Burrow and the Bengals are back in the limelight as they prepare for a showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. Ahead of the game, the star quarterback showed up in an outfit seemingly made for a Chargers player, not him.

He wore a powder blue suit.

The outfit received very mixed reviews, with some likening it to a suit worn in the movie 'Dumb and Dumber.'

"Close enough welcome back harry styles," one fan joked.

"okay fashion icon," offered another.

"I'm pretty sure I have the TJ Maxx version of this outfit," joked another.

"he’s just wearing anything omg," commented another.

Burrow's outfit might not be on point, but his play of late definitely has been. So far this season he's completing 68.7% of his passes for 2,672 yards with 24 touchdowns and just four interceptions.

He now faces a Chargers defense that leads the league in points allowed with just 13.1 points per game.
