New York Post analyst and former NFL kicker Lawrence Tynes addressed a quote attributed during the regular season to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow about crowd noise, in which the former LSU standout suggested that he was prepared for playing in the loudest environments as a professional because he played in Southeastern Conference stadiums collegiately.

From Tynes via Twitter:

Burrow said the following after the Bengals’ 41-17 win against the Ravens in Baltimore in October, per NBC Sports’ Peter King: “We knew that they were gonna be jacked up for us to come in, and expecting to beat our ass. But we were ready for it. Playing in the SEC definitely, definitely helped. Gets way louder in the SEC than in any of these NFL stadiums.”

Reaction to Tynes’ tweet from The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel:

From The Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway via Twitter:

In Sept. 2020, Tynes tweeted that he “never tried” the “old pulled calf” after then-Bengals kicker Randy Bullock – now with the Tennessee Titans – missed a 31-yard field-goal attempt at the end of a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
