The 2024 campaign has not gone the Cincinnati Bengals way, but that doesn't mean that superstar quarterback Joe Burrow is going to be in a sour mood for the holiday season. In fact, it was revealed on Thursday that he got each of his offensive linemen an incredible present for the holidays.

While the Bengals only have a 6-8 record, it isn't because of Burrow, who is putting together the best season of his career. Burrow is leading the league in several statistical categories, including passing yards (3,977) and passing touchdowns (36), while also posting a sparkling completion percentage of 68.5%.

A big reason why Burrow is able to have so much success is because the offensive linemen in front of him are doing their job. As a result, Burrow decided to go all out when it came to buying them gifts for the holidays, and he ended up getting each of his o-linemen an authentic Japanese Katana sword.

"Epic gift alert: Joe Burrow gifted his offensive linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords. They are all unique. Each sword comes with its own story, from certain towns or battles. He put them all in a room and had them pick theirs out." 

"'Joe does a great job at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful,' LT Orlando Brown said. 'The fact that he bought me a sword, it’s the most ancient form of respect," Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Talk about an awesome gift from Burrow. Not only is this gift an outside-the-box idea, but he also went out of his way to make sure each sword was unique in its own way. As star left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. noted, the swords showed him and his fellow linemen how much they meant to the guy they are protecting on a weekly basis.

Playing on the offensive line can be an unglamorous job, but Burrow showed just how much he cares about the guys up front. They will surely be motivated to keep Burrow standing upright as they attempt to keep their miniscule playoff hopes alive in Week 16 when they take on the Cleveland Browns.
