Cincinnati: So, here’s the scoop. Joe Burrow, the Bengals’ quarterback, is absolutely crushing it this season. He’s leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns. If he has a standout game against the Steelers this Saturday, he could make history.
Right now, Burrow has racked up 4,641 passing yards and 42 touchdowns. If he can throw for 359 yards and three touchdowns against Pittsburgh, he’ll hit that magical 5,000-yard and 45-touchdown mark. Only four other quarterbacks have done this before: Dan Marino, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Patrick Mahomes.
Now, here’s the kicker. Burrow would achieve this milestone in his 17th game, while the others did it in just 16. Plus, the game has changed a lot since Marino’s time, making it a bit easier for today’s quarterbacks.
Burrow has also been on fire lately, throwing three or more touchdown passes in eight straight games. If he keeps it up, he’ll tie Tom Brady for the record of nine consecutive games with at least three touchdown passes.
But it’s not all about the stats. The Bengals really need to beat the Steelers and hope for some help on Sunday to secure a playoff spot. It’s going to be an exciting game!
