Bengals' Joe Burrow roasted for haircut style that captures the injured QB vibe image

Joe Burrow is almost always a cool, suave-looking dude.

On Thursday Night Football, on the sideline for the Cincinnati Bengals while Joe Flacco led his team to a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Burrow didn't look quite as put together.

The Thursday Night Football broadcast captured a look at Burrow with his hair long and hanging over his eyes as if he had forgotten to do anything with it after getting out of bed.

Burrow is out, potentially into December, after having turf toe surgery last month.

The Bengals had lost their first four games without him, but Flacco finally changed that streak with a 33-31 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

For Burrow's return late in the season to matter, Flacco will have to play well in the meantime.

By then, Burrow will likely have his hair looking sharp again.

Right now, though, it's just generating some memes.

Maybe the Flacco-led victory will give Burrow hope of making it to the postseason this year after all. And maybe that'll led to at least a little trim.
