CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers have built a connection on a shared experience.
Calf injuries.
On Tuesday, Rodgers revealed on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he reached out to Burrow after the Bengals' quarterback played through a right calf injury in the team's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Burrow said the two connected last week as he wanted to use Rodgers as a resource given his own injury history.
"He's dealt with calf issues his whole career and wanted to use him as a resource and get his thoughts, what he might have done," said Burrow, who added that he considered what Rodgers said.
