Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has divulged some details about the unique Christmas gift he bought his offensive linemen.

Last week, reports surfaced that Burrow bought his offensive linemen authentic katana from Japan. During his postgame press conference after the Bengals’ 24–6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Burrow said he was not willing to buy his blockers the guns they requested, but he wanted to give a meaningful gift that fits the weapon motif.
