Joe Burrow trolled for pre-game outfit as fans draw witty comparisons to Ellen DeGeneres

CINCINNATI, OHIO: After a lackluster performance in Monday Night Football, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow faced criticism online for several reasons.

With the Washington Commanders dominating Burrow's team in the game on September 23, the Bengals now find themselves struggling at 0-3 in the third week of this year's NFL season.

As fans expressed concern over their team’s sluggish start, Burrow’s pregame outfit only intensified their growing frustration.

In a short clip shared by the Bengals on their handle, they showed Joe Burrow making a dashing entry into the Paycor Stadium ahead of the game against the Commanders. 

He styled himself fashionable in a shell pink T-shirt paired with an off-white cargo and matching vest. The quarterback carried a backpack on his right shoulder and accessorized with a thick silver chain and vibrant hot pink sneakers.

While there was nothing inherently wrong with the athlete’s outfit, the entire ensemble gave off vibes reminiscent of television queen Ellen DeGeneres, 66, or Ken from ‘Barbie’.

Soon, netizens took to social media to express their opinions on the NFL star's look. In addition to comparisons to DeGeneres and Ryan Gosling’s character, some even noted similarities to a Backstreet Boy and an NSYNC member.

"Could be the worst pregame outfit ever," declared someone else. 

Another user noted his resemblance to a different boy band, stating, "Burrow looking like a backstreet boy 😂."

Someone else questioned, "Is he playing in MNF or backup dancing for NSYNC? 😂🤣😂."
