The idea that Joe Burrow would play better in empty NFL stadiums is silly

Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow could play in NFL stadiums sans fans in 2020.
A question was posed this week about LSU football‘s Joe Burrow, the first overall selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft, that I found completely silly.
Jay Morrison, who covers the Bengals for The Athletic, pondered whether or not Burrow would be able to perform better in empty stadiums without fans as a rookie.
The theory here is that Burrow wouldn’t be rattled by fan noise and would, therefore, play better on the road.
