Burrow continues to shine in Cincinnati.
Joe Burrow has been electric this season. With multiple five-touchdown games, Burrow continues to show his aggressiveness in the pocket, accuracy, and poise.
With yet another three-touchdown game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, Burrow set the Cincinnati Bengals franchise record for touchdown passes in a single season with 36. He broke his own record, which was set in 2022 with 35.
Burrow, who didn’t seem pleased with his own performance Sunday, ended with two interceptions as well. However, he did hit 70.3% of his attempts and helped the Bengals win their sixth game of the season.
With the Browns, Broncos, and Steelers on the docket, there is a very slim but possible chance that the Bengals will make the playoffs as that third Wild Card team. That dream could hinge mostly on the defense, as Burrow has been unstoppable in the stripes this season.
Burrow has had at least three touchdown passes in six straight games and has gone without an interception in four of his last nine.
Having inked a major extension in 2023, Burrow is locked up in the Queen City for the long haul. Let’s just hope they can build this defense around him. That’s going to be the only way they get back to the Super Bowl.
Burrow, already in his short career, sits 5th in the Bengals’ history in terms of total touchdown passes with 133. He’s still chasing former quarterback Andy Dalton, who had 204 touchdowns in 133 games.
