A pair of Bengals fans seemed to be so broken up about Joe Burrow’s injury that they decided to fight each other before others joined in the chaos.
Two fans in Burrow No. 9 jerseys and another fan in a Bengals jersey that had “Your Mom” and the No. 69 on the back were recorded fighting during Cincinnati’s 31-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
The kerfuffle took place while Bon Jovi’s hit song “Livin’ on a Prayer” played in the background on the Paycor Stadium PA system.
The video picks up with the man in the No. 69 jersey being held back by a woman engaged with a different man in a Burrow jersey, as two men in Burrow jerseys were grabbing hold of one another before pulling one back, causing the individual to fall to the ground.
The one fan – also wearing a black hat – got back up and was hit with a punch by the other fan, who had white hair.
One member of security and an usher tried to calm the situation before the 41-second clip came to an end.
TMZ reported that the altercation took place after the Bengals’ star quarterback was injured.

Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that it was a turf toe injury and that Burrow would likely need surgery.
“I don’t want to make any determination [about the IR] right now. We’ll get through the week, get all the information we can, and go from there,” Taylor told reporters on Monday.
Taylor did throw his support behind backup QB Jake Brown, who will take over in Burrow’s place for the 2-0 Bengals.
“We have a ton of confidence in Jake,” Taylor said. “He proved that yesterday. … He’s played against this team we’re about to play, so he’s got experience there. The point that you turn to now is excited for Jake to go out there and play, and he’s earned the right to be in the spotlight. The guys will ride behind him and we’ll get Jake’s best.”
