Burrow said that rescheduling the game so late in the season could prove difficult. Ultimately, Burrow said he prefers to do what’s best for the Bills when it comes to any potential comeback games.

“I think it would be difficult just scheduling-wise,” he said. “I think whatever Buffalo wanted to do would be what we would want to do as well. We stand behind them 100% and support them in whatever they decide to do in the future.”

The Bengals are still scheduled to play the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday in Week 18.

The game has major playoff implications for Cincinnati. A win will capture the AFC North division title for the second straight season, but that doesn’t seem to be the players’ main concern this week.

“Unfortunate as it is, we have a game to play on Sunday,” Burrow said. “As unusual as this week has been, unfortunately it’s business as usual from a football point of view.”

“I really don’t even know what to say about it because it’s such a scary, emotional time and the guys still have a football game to play on Sunday,” he continued, “and it’s our job to go out and run and play.” the game the way we need to play it to go and win. It is what it is. We’ve had discussions as a team about what happened and where we’re moving forward, and that’s where we are. “

“I’m sure if I did a locker room poll, there would be mixed votes on that,” Burrow said when asked about the team’s feelings about playing this weekend against the Ravens.

“Personally, I think it’s going to be difficult, but there are people who also want to play and there are people who don’t. Personally, I probably want to play. I think getting back to normal as quickly as possible.” how they can is personally how I deal with this kind of thing. Like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it,” she added.
