NFL fans react to Joe Burrow's viral pregame outfits before Bengals-Steelers clash - "Why is he wearing scrubs?"

Joe Burrow has courted the attention of fans with his pregame outfit on Saturday. This time, however, it has drawn comparisons to a doctor/nurse arriving at work.

On Saturday, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was seen arriving at Acrisure Stadium wearing a black jacket and light blue wide-legged pants and black shoes with multicolor patterns.

And fans did not take long to mistake him for someone in the medical profession:

More comparisons can be seen below:

"Did he just get off a long shift at the hospital??" one wondered.

"VERY FITTING!" another "agreed".

"He’s going to be clinical today," another predicted.

Joe Burrow gets candid on possibly failing to win MVP award

There has been much talk about Joe Burrow winning MVP in 2024, even though the Bengals had not made it to .500 until last week. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons thinks he deserves to win, while Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy thinks it is "ridiculous".

But a costly loss at the Steelers could dash those hopes, and he acknowledged that notion when speaking to Cam Newton in an exclusive interview for ESPN. He admitted that while he was proud of what he had accomplished, winning the award was just not meant to be for him given his team's early struggles:

"I'd love to win an MVP at some point in my career. This year is probably not that year just because of how the season has gone for us. I think I'm deserving of it, but the MVP award usually goes to the quarterback of the best team, and that's not us this year."

He continued:

"This year, I would say I didn't start off slow. I felt like I came out ready to go and playing well and we just weren't able to find those wins early in the year. Lot of close games that didn't go our way, and that's just the year that it was."

These echoed his sentiments from last week, when he said:

"I doubt it. Usually you have to win your division... It is what it is. That's how it's voted and I don't necessarily disagree with it."

The Bengals currently lead the Steelers 10-0 after a Burrow touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase.
