Football fans noticed the resemblance between Joe Burrow and actor Macaulay Culkin before the Cincinnati Bengals even drafted the quarterback in 2020.

Culkin took things to the next level Wednesday.

The actor dressed up like Burrow for Halloween and posted the photos on his Instagram account with a caption that said, "Game on @joeyb_9."

ESPN's Adam Schefter shared a look:

Culkin, who is best known for his role in Home Alone, even completed the look with a Bengals helmet.

Perhaps Cincinnati should entertain bringing him in for a tryout in a real uniform, as the 2024 season has been an inconsistent one at best. It started 0-3, went 3-1 in the next four and then lost at home to the Philadelphia Eagles by 20 points on Sunday.

The Bengals are now 3-5 and looking up at both the 6-2 Pittsburgh Steelers and 5-3 Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.

The record isn't Burrow's fault, as he has largely been excellent while completing 70.3 percent of his passes for 1,993 yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions. With numbers like that, some Bengals fans will likely join Culkin in dressing up like the quarterback for Halloween.
