New York Post analyst and former NFL kicker Lawrence Tynes addressed a quote attributed during the regular season to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow about crowd noise, in which the former LSU standout suggested that he was prepared for playing in the loudest environments as a professional because he played in Southeastern Conference stadiums in college.
From Tynes via Twitter:
To be fair, Joe has never played at Arrowhead. Having said that, he is in for a rude awakening.
There is no place louder in sports and it’s not up for debate. pic.twitter.com/OKJCHlZj09— 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝘆𝗻𝗲𝘀 (@lt4kicks) January 24, 2022
Burrow said the following after the Bengals' 41-17 win against the Ravens in Baltimore in October, per NBC Sports' Peter King: "We knew that they were gonna be jacked up for us to come in, and expecting to beat our ass. But we were ready for it. Playing in the SEC definitely, definitely helped. Gets way louder in the SEC than in any of these NFL stadiums."
Reaction to Tynes' tweet from The Athletic's Stewart Mandel:
Also, they ring actual cowbells at Mississippi State (as Joe would know). You risk permanent hearing loss at a game there. https://t.co/SaqdLhaPia

From The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway via Twitter:
Callahan says the #Bengals will crank up the noise as much as they can this week during practice to simulate the type of environment expected at Arrowhead

In Sept. 2020, Tynes tweeted that he "never tried" the "old pulled calf" after then-Bengals kicker Randy Bullock - now with the Tennessee Titans - missed a 31-yard field-goal attempt at the end of a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
