Snoop Dogg's NFL Honors Jokes Upset Fans, Joe Burrow

At the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans, Joe Burrow received the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Award but was momentarily taken aback by host Snoop Dogg's joke about the Cincinnati Bengals' defense. Snoop Dogg humorously remarked on Burrow's $2.9 million Tumbler Batmobile, saying, 'I guess he wanted one thing in life... to have a good defense.' Despite Burrow's impressive stats this season, including 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, the Bengals' defense struggled, contributing to the team's failure to make the playoffs. The defense's woes led to significant changes, including the hiring of new defensive coordinator Al Golden after the firing of Lou Anarumo. The joke elicited laughter and groans from the audience, reflecting the tension surrounding the Bengals' defensive performance. Burrow's mixed reactions during the ceremony underscored the contrast between his personal achievements and the team's shortcomings.
