Why is Mike Florio obsessed with trying to take down the Bengals?
Joe Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist during the Cincinnati Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Amidst the injury news was a bit of a scandal when Burrow was spotted wearing some sort of device on his wrist before the game. He wasn't listed on the injury report so people started freaking out that the Bengals were being dishonest about a potential injury.
Burrow cleared the air following the news of him being out for the season but Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk doesn't want to let it go. On Tuesday, he tweeted a new video that shows Burrow flexing his right hand after making a throw while warming up before the Bengals/Ravens game.
New video shows Joe Burrow looking at and flexing right hand after making throw before Week 11 Bengals-Ravens game. It's just another piece of a puzzle the league has no real incentive to solve, if an injury was indeed being hidden. https://t.co/K42r5pnkFI

This might seem like another piece to the "scandal" but unfortunately for Florio, James Rapien found a video of Burrow doing this same movement during practice on October 12. This was long before the injury occurred.
The hand flex and wrist rotation is something Joe Burrow has done regularly during warm ups. This is from Thursday, October 12⬇️ https://t.co/0RSIUruc9o pic.twitter.com/DQ4nPr9dYp

For whatever reason, Florio has become obsessed with talking about this situation. Maybe now that he's been proven wrong, he'll stop but I wouldn't count on it.
