While several NFL teams have experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals have managed to avoid a serious outbreak.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow joked Wednesday that they haven't been hit hard by the coronavirus because there's not much to do in Cincinnati.
"We're doing a great job with our COVID protocols," Burrow said. "Fortunately, there's not a ton to do in Cincinnati, so ... nobody's going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend."
The NFL had more than 150 players test positive for COVID-19 in Week 15, prompting the league to postpone games for the first time this season.
The Bengals currently have just one player on the reserve/COVID-19 list, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie.
