Joe Burrow addresses sideline meltdown days after being robbed with swimsuit model Olivia Ponton in his home

Joe Burrow has opened up about his sideline outburst with Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. CBS cameras caught Cincinnati's quarterback appearing to say something was 'f***ing embarrassing' with the Bengals up 37-21 in the fourth quarter in Nashville.
'You have the luxury of being a little emotional on the sideline in that situation because the game's out of reach,' Burrow said, as quoted by Cincinnati.com. 'You don't have to go back out there to make a play to win the game.'. Burrow didn't divulge his specific complaint, but admitted he may have been out of line.
'I could probably do a better job of keeping my emotions in check in that situation,' Burrow said. 'Like I said, it wasn't directed at Zac. Just a display of frustration of the day that I had, that we had as an offense, how sloppy it was and we've had those discussion in-house about what needs to be better.'.
Despite the Bengals' 6-8 record and dwindling playoff hopes, Burrow has put forth an exceptional season and currently leads all passers with 3,977 yards and 36 touchdowns. But it hasn't been all good for the former Heisman winner, whose home was recently targeted by burglars while a swimsuit model friend of his was inside the $7.5 million mansion.
