CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow lit up the highlight reel during the first Fanatics Flag Football Classic. The Bengals' star quarterback led Team Wildcats FFC to some big plays throughout the fun three-team round-robin event in California.

He played in the Fanatics Classic today alongside NFL names like Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels. Burrow and Daniels led Team Wildcats, while Tom Brady and Jalen Hurts led Team Founders in the round robin setup.

A third team was made up of the official U.S. Flag Football roster. They performed well en route to the overall title. The other two teams weren't entirely made up of NFL players, but the flag football veterans were the best on the field.

Burrow would love to play for the team in the 2028 Olympics after throwing more than five touchdowns on Saturday. NFL players should play much better than they showed today with more than two days to prepare as a team.

"I've always wanted to play in the Olympics," Burrow said this week during a pre-event press conference. "I've never necessarily played an Olympic sport before, so when this got announced, I was pretty excited about it. The opportunity to win a gold medal is something that I've thought about -- a moment like that -- for a long time, since I was a kid. I think it would be something very special."
