Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will play football with a carbon fiber plate in the toe of his shoe, fight through it to throw two touchdown passes and win a crucial game.
But it seems there is something he won’t do. He didn’t seem to have any interest in the Maryland Crabs following the team’s 32-14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

He and nearly all of his teammates joined NBC’s Melissa Stark at the table set up at M&T Bank Stadium after the game, which is a tradition during NFL Thanksgiving Day games.
Burrow picked up a crab and tried to give it to one of his boys. Then, he smelled it and asked Stark what it was. When he was told it was a hard-shelled crab, he put it away and shook his head as if tasting something sour. The rest of the team ate turkey.

“It’s great to be back,” he told Stark after the game. “It’s certainly not an easy thing to go through, but this moment makes it all worth it. It’s good to be with the guys again.”
For what it’s worth, Burrow told NBC that his favorite Thanksgiving dish was pumpkin pie.
He finished 24 of 46 with 261 passing yards and two touchdown passes. He threw one to Andrei Iosivas and the other to Tanner Hudson.
Burrow had missed several weeks with a toe injury, which he suffered in Week 2. He returned to the field earlier than expected as the Bengals’ playoff hopes began to fade.

The team isn’t exactly out of it yet, but it can’t afford another stain on its record going forward.
