When asked about the possibility of restarting the Bills’ game at some point, Burrow admitted that it could be logistically difficult to swing.
“I think it’s going to be difficult schedule-wise,” he said. “What Buffalo wants to do is what we want to do. We stand behind them 100% and support them in deciding what to do going forward.”

Personally, maybe I want to play. I think it’s about getting back to normal as soon as possible.” Here’s how I deal with this sort of thing. Like I said, everyone deals with it differently.
