“Gotta have two bye weeks,” Burrow answered. “And I think it’d be cool to do normal bye weeks like it is now. Have it spread out. But then, like, Week 13, do the Pro Bowl break. Where you have the 7-on-7 and all the skills challenges, like the NBA does.”

However, he has now faced intense backlash over his words. Chase Daniel, a former NFL quarterback, rejected Burrow’s idea, arguing that the league’s schedule is already too stacked to add another game.
