Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow diced up the Baltimore Ravens secondary in a Week 16 win, then added fuel to the rivalry's fire with his comments after the game. Burrow didn't apologize for the Bengals' pass-heavy approach late in the game, saying that the Ravens didn't hold back during one of their contests last season. In an appearance on the ESPN show Get Up, former Ravens linebacker and current ESPN NFL analyst Bart Scott seemed to suggest a bounty on Burrow after his comments on the Ravens.
Have y'all seen this from this morning? đĄ I didn't even play the entire video. Bart Scott went way too far with this. He is basically putting a bounty on Joe Burrow for the rest of his career when they play the Ravens. pic.twitter.com/4F3agtlhUm

This is taken entirely too far by former Ravens linebacker Bart Scott. Scott's âthe order has been sentâ statement seems to imply a bounty on Bengals star Joe Burrow after his postgame comments.
There is no place in the NFL for what Scott is seemingly suggesting here. And there's a slim chance that the Ravens are actually lining up to take shots at Burrow.
While Baltimore isn't placing a bounty on Burrow as Scott seemingly suggested, one can bet that they'll be circling the Bengals matchup for next season on their calendars, as Burrow diced them for at least 400 yards and three touchdowns in each of their matchups.
One can also bet that ESPN won't be pleased with Bart Scott for his comments suggesting a Ravens bounty on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
