“He did it. But I mean, he's just missing the shoulder pads, the pants and the cleats, but it's there,” said Chase, a 24-year-old wide receiver. When a reporter asked him if he thought Burrow and Culkin looked similar, Chase laughed and said, “No, not at all.”

Burrow himself expressed a relative disinterest in Halloween during his own press conference, as seen in another video shared on social media.

“No,” he said in response to a reporter’s question about whether Burrow was “a big Halloween guy.”

“I don't like celebrating something just for the sake of celebrating it. I don't know exactly what we're celebrating there. Just getting dressed to get dressed? I don't know it. “I’m not a big guy who dresses up,” he said. “I've always been against the dress code…if someone tells me I have to wear something, I don't want to wear it. That's just how I've always been. I don't know it. I guess so.” I’m a contrarian sometimes.

“Yeah, that's pretty cool,” he added when a reporter noted that kids who are Bengals fans could dress up as him for Halloween.
