Joe Burrow Praises Josh Allen, Excited to Face Bills Star on Monday Night Football

"He’s just an exciting player, a great player that it’s going to be fun to go up against him."
In this story:

CINCINNATI — The Bengals host the Bills tonight on Monday Night Football. It's a matchup between two of the best teams in the AFC and two of the premiere quarterbacks in the NFL. 

Joe Burrow and Josh Allen have different styles, but they've completely changed their franchises in recent seasons. 

Both guys have Super Bowl aspirations this season and although they've never faced each other on the field, they're good friends away from football. 

"We’re friends. We’ve hung out quite a bit," Burrow said. "Everybody that watches Josh, there’s no secrets about why he’s so good. He’s fun to watch, he runs around. He makes plays. He makes throws that nobody else can make. He’s just an exciting player, a great player that it’s going to be fun to go up against him."

Burrow and Allen are both at the top or near the top of most of the major quarterback stats. Allen was taken seventh overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Burrow went first overall two years later. 

"We both train with the same guy in the offseason so that started when I was training pre-draft," Burrow added. "He’s fun to be around. He’s an outgoing guy. He’s fun to hang out with."

The two stars will face off for the first time every tonight on Monday Night Football at 8:30 p.m. ET. The game airs on ESPN/ABC and is available on fuboTV—start your free trial here.
