This was in the heat and humidity of a downtown Cincinnati summer day, and nearly a month deep into camp, with the Super Bowl champions on the other side—Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald and the rest of the Rams’ defense. And to hear Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan tell the story, his quarterback Joe Burrow was just kind of sick of L.A.
Not really the team or the players, so much as what they were trying to do to him.
“The Rams play this particular style—it’s an off-catch technique where they get vision on the quarterback, so they can break fast on the ball,” Callahan explained. “And he was like, O.K., we’re not doing this anymore.”
