Joe Burrow’s house burglarized while playing Cowboys on Monday night: report
Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, had a tumultuous night on and off the field as he helped his team snap their losing streak on “Monday Night Football” while his home was reportedly broken into. According to a report from WLWT, a Cincinnati-based TV station, police were called to Burrow’s home in the area following a report of a break-in.
The situation unfolded when a woman called 911 to report the break-in at Burrow’s house while his daughter was staying there alone. The woman expressed concern for her daughter’s safety and sought advice on whether she should hide or go outside. Not long after, Burrow’s daughter also called 911 to report that someone had broken into the house.
This reported break-in comes on the heels of a recent memo sent out by the NFL to players after burglaries occurred at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The memo warned players to be vigilant as professional athletes have increasingly become targets for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.
The league cautioned players to take special precautions such as installing home security systems and refraining from posting live updates of their whereabouts and expensive possessions on social media. It is important to note that thieves often exploit athletes’ predictable schedules, as seen in the Mahomes and Kelce break-ins.
Burrow, who recently revealed on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” that he purchased a $3 million replica Batmobile, can afford many valuables in his home after signing a lucrative contract extension. However, the exact extent of the break-in and whether anything was stolen remains unknown at this time.
The FBI is reportedly investigating the crime spree, which is believed to be linked to a South American crime syndicate. At least one other NFL player has also fallen victim to a similar break-in. It is essential for athletes to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard their homes and belongings.
As the investigation into the break-in at Joe Burrow’s home continues, it serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by professional athletes and the importance of security measures.
