Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow addressed the burglary at his Cincinnati-area home during Monday’s game, expressing frustration over the invasion of his privacy. According to an incident report, model Olivia Ponton initially reported the break-in and local media acquired footage via aerial drones.
Burrow, who has protected his privacy throughout his career, acknowledged that even with fame comes a lack of personal space. He stated that living in the public eye is difficult for him, particularly when it comes to maintaining some level of solitude.
The incident report shows that Burrow’s home was broken into while he was on the road playing against the Dallas Cowboys. The break-in is currently being investigated as a felony and has sparked similar incidents involving high-profile athletes, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Despite the recent burglary, Burrow remains focused on his career, leading the NFL in passing yards, touchdowns, and Total QBR. He also mentioned that he’s dealing with a left knee injury but expressed optimism about recovering.
For Sunday’s road game against the Tennessee Titans, Burrow emphasized the need to find wins despite a disappointing season. The Bengals are facing a bleak playoff outlook, but Burrow remains committed to his team’s success, saying “no one win is going to solve anything at this point.”
