CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gave his offensive line authentic Japanese Katana swords for Christmas.

Burrow explained the decision to go with swords following Sunday's 24-6 win over the Browns.

"Well, they wanted guns ... And I was like 'I don't know about guns, guys.'" Burrow said with a smirk. "I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, 'what's a cool weapon? Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool.'"

It's fair to say his teammates were happy with the gift. Multiple linemen shared their excitement in the locker room on Thursday.

Burrow gave one of his employees credit for finding the swords.

"And Nicole, she works for me, and she was able to go and find them for me," Burrow said. "So, she did a great job finding the best ones out there. So, I think guys were excited about it."
