“My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house,” the mom added. “She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside. She said someone was in the house.”
A second 911 call came from the person staying at Burrow’s house, saying, “Someone broke into my house. It’s like completely messed up.”

The NFL recently issued a security alert to players and teams following two separate burglaries of the homes of Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
In a memo obtained by the Associated Press, the league said homes of professional athletes have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.”
The memo labeled the transnational crime rings “well-organized, sophisticated,” and urged the players to safeguard valuables and avoid publicly sharing check-ins on social media or any information about their homes and any luxury items they might own, NBC News noted.
Officials noted that the homes are specifically being targeted when players are at their games.
Mahomes’ home was burglarized on Sunday, October 6, the day before the team’s victory on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints, the outlet noted.
On the day of the game, the home belonging to Kelce was broken into while the team was playing against the Saints. At the time, TMZ reported that $20,000 in cash was stolen and a back door was damaged.
A South American crime ring is expected to be the culprit in at least the Chiefs burglaries, the New York Post reported.
At the time of this report, Burrow or the Bengals have yet to comment on the burglary.
