Rides hot start to first win
Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns while rushing five times for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Burrow threw for 95 yards on the opening drive, which he capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Samaje Perine, and he finished the first quarter with 163 yards and two touchdowns after linking up with Tyler Boyd for a 56-yard touchdown on the final play of the quarter. A five-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase put the Bengals up 27-9 in the third quarter, but the Bengals were otherwise content milking the clock on offense en route to their first win of 2022. Burrow will bring a 6:4 TD:INT…read more

No protection again in Week 2
Burrow completed 24 of 36 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown while gaining 26 yards on four carries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: After getting sacked seven times in a Week 1 loss to the Steelers, Burrow was running for his life once again in Dallas and got taken down six more times. Despite the issues in front of him on the offensive line, the third-year QB still rallied the Bengals in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17-17 with less than four minutes left, only for the Cowboys to kick a game-winning FG as time expired. Cincinnati is a surprising 0-2 to begin the season, but Burrow may have a little more time to…read more

Major struggles in home loss
Burrow completed 33 of 53 pass attempts for 338 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers while also losing a fumble.
Analysis: Burrow was gutsy enough in what must have been a painful game (seven sacks and 11 hits), but he simply did not play well. While he dealt with an unacceptable amount of pressure, it's also true he didn't handle most of those situations well. It certainly didn't help that Tee Higgins left early with a concussion, especially since Cincinnati lacks receiver depth, so hopefully Higgins is recovered and cleared before Cincinnati's Week 2 matchup with Dallas. The Dallas pass rush and secondary could…read more

Cleared for Week 1
Burrow (appendix) isn't listed on the Bengals' Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.
Analysis: Burrow, who underwent an appendectomy July 26, is thus in line to start Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers. Another player whose name is absent from the Bengals' initial injury report is Tee Higgins (shoulder), which ensures that Burrow will have his top three wide receivers (Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins and Tyler Boyd) available this weekend.

Burrow (appendix) is slated to practice without limitations Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Burrow, who underwent an appendectomy July 26, continues to progress, but Ben Baby of ESPN.com notes that the quarterback is still working his way back from the procedure. In any case, Burrow is on track to be ready for the Bengals' Week 1 game against the Steelers.

Returns to team drills
Burrow (appendix) returned to team drills Wednesday but acknowledged he would still like to add weight before Week 1, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While holding a news conference Wednesday for the first time since requiring an appendectomy July 26, Burrow relayed that he spent a few days in the hospital after a ruptured appendix necessitated the emergency procedure. He returned to 7-on-7 work Monday and is now participating in team drills, but he's not necessarily back to 100 percent strength less than a month after surgery. The Bengals seemingly expect him to get there in advance of their season opener Sept. 11 against Pittsburgh.

Logs 7-on-7 reps Sunday
Burrow (appendix) participated in 7-on-7 drills during his return to practice Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In his first practice since having his appendix removed, Burrow was eased back into the mix, but he actually did more Sunday than coach Zac Taylor had anticipated. "We talked about doing two reps in 7-on-7," Taylor noted afterward. "And then he took 10. That's how it goes sometimes." Though it's uncertain when Burrow will resume practicing fully, the Bengals' franchise QB has ample time to ready himself for the team's Week 1 contest, at home against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Goes through walkthrough Sunday
Burrow (appendix) went through the Bengals' walkthrough practice Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Burrow threw some passes during last Monday's practice, marking the first time reporters had seen him do any on-field activity since undergoing an appendectomy, and he appears to be taking the necessary steps to being cleared for Week 1 of the regular season. The talented quarterback had the surgery July 26, but the team has remained confident he'll be ready when the games start to count, even if he doesn't see any action during the preseason.

Won't play in preseason opener
Burrow (appendix) won't play in Friday's preseason matchup with Arizona, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Burrow never had a shot to play Friday and doesn't seem likely to make more than one brief appearance this preseason, if he plays at all. He threw some short passes during Monday's practice, marking the first time since his July 26 appendectomy that reporters had seen the quarterback do any type of on-field activity. Burrow returned to meetings shortly after his surgery and is expected to be ready for Week 1.

First activity since surgery Monday
Burrow (appendix) was seen throwing some light passes at the end of Monday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Earlier Monday, Burrow was able to get around the practice field without a cart, like he had been doing of late, and he proceeded to log his first activity as well. Baby relayed that Burrow was taking snaps, went through his reads and tossed the ball back to a member of the Bengals' equipment staff. After he underwent an appendectomy July 26, Burrow was given a recovery timeline of 2-to-3 weeks, so he is approaching the front end of that timetable. Still, the team isn't likely to rush its…read more

Not using cart
Burrow (appendix) is getting around practice without a cart, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Burrow returned to team meetings shortly after his late-July appendectomy and seems to be recovering along the normal timeline of 2-to-3 weeks. The Bengals don't figure to rush him, given their continuity at the skill positions and with their offensive coaching staff. They do have two or three new starters on the offensive line, all of whom profile as upgrades. Burrow is in a great situation to continue his efficient passing from last year, with the only real downside being that he hasn't used…read more

Deemed day-to-day
Burrow (appendix) is considered day-to-day and has been present for meetings at training camp, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Burrow presumably was able to continue working on the mental side of the game within a few days of undergoing surgery last Tuesday (July 26). Early reports suggested he could be miss two or three weeks, but it won't be shocking if it's a bit less than that. The relatively minor surgery, an appendectomy, shouldn't end up having too much impact on either his perceived fantasy value or his in-season performance.

Return timetable TBD
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow underwent successful surgery Tuesday to remove his appendix, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Burrow will be discharged from the hospital Wednesday, but a timeline for his return to the field isn't known.
Analysis: Taylor said he isn't too worried about Burrow's current absence because new offense installs will be addressed later in training camp, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. In the meantime, Brandon Allen will likely handle the bulk of first-team reps. While Burrow's availability for preseason action looks iffy, there's no indication that the Bengals have any concerns about his Week 1 availability.

Having appendix removed
Burrow (knee) is undergoing surgery to remove his appendix and will miss some practice time in the coming weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Given the typical recovery timeline for an appendix removal, Burrow should be back at practice around mid-August or even a bit sooner. This does put his availability for the preseason in doubt, though he likely wouldn't have played much even without any health concerns. Burrow avoided surgery on a left MCL sprain this offseason and was able to practice without a knee brace at the Bengals' June minicamp.

Burrow (knee) is practicing Wednesday without a brace on his left leg, the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Burrow wore a brace on his left knee all last season after suffering ACL and MCL injuries as a rookie. The 25-year-old also battled an MCL sprain in his right knee during the Bengals' 2021 playoff run that culminated in a Super Bowl loss to the Rams, but he didn't need to undergo offseason surgery.

Burrow (knee) reported for the start of Cincinnati's offseason workouts Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Burrow is recovering from a left MCL sprain, but he avoided surgery for the injury, and the Bengals haven't expressed any significant public concern about the star quarterback's health. It remains to be seen, however, whether Burrow's rehab has progressed enough for him to begin offseason activities without any limitations.

Has MCL sprain, won't need surgery
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Burrow (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: According to Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site, Burrow is also nursing a pinkie injury, but he shouldn't require offseason surgery to address either issue. Additionally, Taylor categorized Burrow's MCL sprain as an aggravation of the injury he dealt with in December. The Bengals are hopeful that after a couple months of rest, Burrow will be ready to resume workouts as a full participant at some point during OTAs.

Shouldn't need offseason surgery
Burrow isn't expected to need surgery on the knee injury he suffered in the final minutes of the Super Bowl, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While the injury likely impacted his mobility late in the fourth quarter, Burrow never missed a snap. Still, it's apparently serious enough to require some type of rehab process, which Burrow should have time to complete before spring practices in May and June. Rapoport says the injury "shouldn't drastically alter [Burrow's] offseason."

Overcome by pressure
Burrow completed 22 of 33 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 Super Bowl LVI loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Burrow's highlight reel play of the game came on the first snap of the second half, when he connected with Tee Higgins for a 75-yard touchdown. However, besides that connection, Burrow managed only 5.9 yards per attempt and was under consistent pressure in the final two quarters of the contest. Despite the disappointing end to the campaign, Burrow led Cincinnati to an impressive postseason run that included upset wins over the Titans and Chiefs -- two of the favorites in the AFC.

Burrow completed 23 of 38 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Burrow and the entire Bengals offense got off to a slow start, as they managed only three points through the first 29 minutes of game time. However, he connected with Samaje Perine on a screen pass that went for a 41-yard touchdown just before halftime. Burrow then led the team to three scoring drives in four possessions spanning the third and fourth quarters, highlighted by a two-yard touchdown toss to Ja'Marr Chase.

Headed to AFC Championship Game
Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 348 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round win over the Titans.
Analysis: Burrow was under constant pressure -- he was sacked nine times and hit on several other occasions -- but still managed to move the Bengals' offense effectively for the majority of the game. He distributed the ball well Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase and C.J. Uzomah and connected with the trio for five completions of over 20 yards. The end result was that Burrow reached 300 passing yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. He capped the effort with a 19-yard completion to put the Bengals in…read more

Solid playoff debut
Burrow completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 244 yards and two touchdowns against Las Vegas on Saturday.
Analysis: The numbers are modest at a glance, but the Bengals controlled this game from start to finish and it's possible that they could have done more if they needed to. With that said, Burrow did most of his damage early, throwing one touchdown to each of Tyler Boyd and C.J. Uzomah in roughly the first third of the game and not doing a whole lot afterward. With higher stakes in the second playoff round it's possible that Burrow and the Bengals take a more aggressive approach.

The QB eventually followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen during prep for the season finale, and while he entered this past weekend as questionable, he didn't travel with the Bengals and was ruled out ahead of a contest at Cleveland that had no impact on Cincinnati's playoff seeding.

Analysis: The plan all along has been to rest Burrow, so this hardly is a surprise.

Analysis: Ben Baby of ESPN.com relays that the QB was listed as a full practice participant Friday, but the plan this weekend is to rest Burrow with the postseason in mind, which sets the stage for Brandon Allen to start Sunday.

Analysis: Cincinnati enters Week 18 in the No. 3 spot in the AFC standings, but it could have the opportunity to clinch the No. 1 seed with a win and losses by the Titans, Chiefs and Patriots or a win plus a Bills win and losses by the Titans and Chiefs.

Banged up late in huge win
Burrow completed 30 of 39 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs. He added 10 yards on five rushing attempts, but Field Yates of ESPN reports that Burrow was sidelined for the game's final few plays after taking a hit and hobbling off the field.
Analysis: After falling in an early 14-0 hole, Burrow connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a 72-yard touchdown. The Chiefs restored their 14-point lead on the ensuing drive, only for Burrow to answer again with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Chase.

Makes most of limited volume
Burrow completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 157 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: As indicated by the score, this matchup was dominated by the defensive units. As a result, Burrow's volume was limited, and his 22 pass attempts were his lowest mark since Week 3. Even so, he was fairly efficient when he did take to the air, with the highlight of his performance being a 56-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd late in the third quarter. While Burrow had racked up decent yardage in his last two games, he has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games.

Analysis: Burrow's return to the field as a full participant confirms that his absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related.

Burrow completed 25 of 34 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: According to Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Taylor noted that Burrow "feels good" after playing through the injury Sunday, but the second-year quarterback could get some extra maintenance early on this week in any case to relieve some of the pressure on his pinkie finger. Unless the finger swells up and presents more difficulty with his throwing in practice than expected, Burrow doesn't look to be at any major risk of missing the Bengals' upcoming game against the 49ers this weekend.

Suffers finger injury in loss
Burrow completed 24 of 40 passes for 300 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards and lost a fumble, the latter a first-quarter play on which he suffered a a dislocated pinkie finger, Marisa Contipelli of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Burrow's injury ultimately didn't lead to a subpar fantasy day by any stretch, even though the two interceptions were certainly a blemish. However, the 2020 first overall pick hit the 300-yard mark for the third time this season and extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to three games when he connected with Tee Higgins on a 29-yard scoring toss to start a comeback from 24-0. Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports Burrow stated after the game the injury will not cause him to miss…read more

Responsible for two TDs in win
Burrow completed 20 of 24 pass attempts for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception while scoring another touchdown on an eight-yard rush in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: The Bengals' defense and rushing attack led the charge in an important win over an AFC North rival, but Burrow was able to get in on the ground onslaught with a touchdown of his own. It was the 24-year-old's first rushing score of the season after posting three in his shortened rookie campaign. Burrow has failed to top 200 passing yards over his last two contests after averaging 309.5 yards over his previous six. The Bengals may need to rely on their rising star quarterback when they face a…read more

Rides running game to win
Burrow completed 20 of 29 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He gained 11 rushing yards on three carries.
Analysis: The yardage total was his lowest of the season, and the second-year QB also lost a fumble, but Burrow didn't have to do too much on a day in which Joe Mixon was running wild. After tossing multiple TDs in eight straight games to begin the season, Burrow has managed only one score in his last two, a slump he'll look to break out of in Week 12 against the Steelers.

Held without a TD by Browns
Burrow completed 28 of 40 passes for 282 yards and two interceptions while adding one yard on two rushing attempts in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Burrow led Cincinnati down to Cleveland's three-yard line on the opening drive but then threw a disastrous interception that Browns cornerback Denzel Ward took the other way for a touchdown. The Bengals' offense bounced back on the ensuing drive, marching downfield again and this time punching it in with an 11-yard Joe Mixon rushing touchdown to tie the game. It was all Cleveland after that, though, as Burrow failed to throw a touchdown pass after having tossed multiple scores in every previous…read more

Burrow completed 21 of 34 passes for 259 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets. His lone rushing attempt went for minus-1 yard.
Analysis: After the Jets failed to challenge a 26-yard Tee Higgins catch on which the ball appeared to hit the ground, Burrow made them pay by finding Ja'Marr Chase two plays later for a two-yard touchdown to take a 14-7 second-quarter lead. He had another sequence with a big play to Higgins accompanied by a touchdown pass in the third quarter, following up a 54-yard gain with an eight-yard score to Joe Mixon on the very next play.

Leads team to victory with huge day
Burrow completed 23 of 38 pass attempts for 416 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 41-17 rout of the Ravens.
Analysis: Burrow was having a relatively normal performance in a tight contest before absolutely going off on Baltimore's secondary in the second half. The 24-year-old connected on huge touchdown strikes to Ja'Marr Chase (82 yards) and C.J. Uzomah (55 yards) to put the game out of reach and seal the Bengals' first win against the Lamar Jackson era Ravens (1-5).

Burrow completed 19 of 29 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Bengals' 34-11 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 20 yards.
Analysis: The Bengals walked into the road contest as big road favorites, and although it took them a bit to get clicking, the final result was a runaway win. Burrow contributed with touchdown throws of 40, two and seven yards to the eclectic trio of Joe Mixon, C.J. Uzomah and Auden Tate, his sixth multi-touchdown performance in as many games to open 2021.

Burrow (throat) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Detroit, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Following the Bengals' Week 5 loss to the Packers, Burrow paid a visit to the hospital as a precaution due to a throat contusion. While he practiced in full all week, he had limitations on one front, as coach Zac Taylor told Baby on Wednesday that Burrow would operate under 'voice rest.' Still, Burrow will be available and under center Sunday versus a Lions defense that has allowed a league-worst 9.96 yards per attempt to opposing quarterbacks this season.

That being said, wideout Tee Higgins indicated that Burrow's communication during Wednesday's walk-through was normal.

Burrow completed 26 of 38 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 25-22 overtime loss to the Packers. He also had a successful two-point conversion pass.
Analysis: Burrow found backup tailback Samaje Perine for a four-yard touchdown to begin his day, then salvaged an otherwise modest first-half performance by exploding for a 70-yard touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase on a scramble drill just before halftime. That play marked the longest pass of Burrow's career thus far, but he faltered by floating a throw on the run for an interception on Cincinnati's opening drive of the second half.

Stellar showing in close win
Burrow completed 25 of 32 passes for 348 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 24-21 win over the Jaguars on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for four yards.
Analysis: Burrow led the Bengals' second-half charge after Cincinnati surprisingly found itself down 14-0 at halftime. The 2020 first overall pick outdueled this year's top selection Trevor Lawrence over the final two quarters, with a pair of touchdown passes to C.J.

Analysis: After posting 261 yards and two TDs without an interception during a Week 1 victory against the Vikings, Burrow fell back to earth a bit, posting the first turnovers of his second campaign. His first one was particularly backbreaking, as a pass intended for Tyler Boyd near midfield was picked off and returned to the house to put the Bears up, 17-3, with just under 11 minutes remaining in the game.

More snaps under center
Burrow took 53 percent of Sunday's snaps under center after averaging around 80 percent of his snaps in shotgun formation last year, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
Analysis: The change possibly signals the Bengals are more committed to the running game this season, particularly in OL coach Frank Pollack's wide zone-centric scheme, and that taking snaps under center suggests play-action can be more effective. Of course, it's also easier to emphasize the run and taking snaps under center when you already have the lead, as the Bengals did for most of the second half last week.

He found Tee Higgins for a two-yard score with 1:51 remaining, then connected with rookie fifth-overall pick Ja'Marr Chase for a 50-yard touchdown just 1:16 later.

Back in action Sunday
Burrow played the opening series in the Bengals' 29-26 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, misfiring on his only pass attempt.
Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor apparently didn't want to deviate from his plan of only having Burrow handle the opening possession, regardless of how short that drive ended up being. As it turned out, the Bengals actually went backwards with the second-year signal-caller under center due to an unnecessary roughness penalty, and Burrow's only attempt, which went to Ja'Marr Chase, was incomplete due to a drop on the rookie receiver's part. Having broken the ice, albeit briefly, with respect to getting…read more

Burrow is scheduled to receive snaps in Sunday's preseason finale versus the Dolphins, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the quarterback is poised to get in some game action for the first time since he sustained a season-ending knee injury last November, Burrow isn't expected to draw extended work Sunday. With that in mind, head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged that the 2020 No. 1 overall pick's stint against Miami will be "very limited." In any case, Burrow's looming preseason appearance further solidifies that he'll be good to go Week 1, when the Bengals host the Vikings.

It's reasonable for the team to take a cautious approach to Burrow's return to game action, given the severity of the injury he's working his way back from.

Offense struggling mightily
Burrow and the Cincinnati offense have struggled to move the ball in training-camp practices, with the Bengals' defensive line often putting intense pressure on the team's quarterbacks, Jay Morrison and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There are two big concerns about Burrow heading into 2021; how mobile he is after recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, and how well his offensive line will be able to protect him. Thus far, the second concern hasn't been put to rest. It's not unusual for defenses to be ahead of offenses at this time of year, but the way Dehner describes the imbalance -- ("... most lopsided practice in a long time ...") -- is certainly disturbing.

Tops 400 yards in loss
Burrow completed 35 of 47 passes for 406 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 37-34 loss to Cleveland. He also rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown and fumbled three times, losing one.
Analysis: Burrow got the offense down to Cleveland's two-yard line on the opening drive before throwing an interception on 1st-and-goal. The rookie first overall pick bounced back by capping the following drive with his third rushing touchdown, using his 6-foot-3, 221-pound frame to push the pile on the second of back-to-back quarterback sneak calls from the one-yard line. He added an 11-yard passing score to Tyler Boyd in the final minute of the first half, and touchdowns of 16 yards to Tee Higgins and…read more

Can't protect early lead
Burrow completed 25 of 39 passes for 313 yards and one interception while adding two yards on three carries during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Burrow unexpectedly enjoyed a large early lead and deferred to the run game for much of the first half. Unfortunately, the Colts clawed their way back in the game, eventually taking the lead, and Burrow's interception on his last drive was the nail in the coffin. The rookie has now gone back-to-back weeks without a touchdown pass and owns a 6:4 TD:INT for the season despite reaching the 300-yard mark in four of the last five games. Burrow will look to take advantage of a rare favorable matchup…read more

Shut down by Ravens
Burrow went 19-for-30 passing with 183 yards, no touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 27-3 loss to Baltimore. He also ran for 10 yards on three carries, fumbling twice and committing one lost fumble.
Analysis: It was a turbulent outing for the No. 1 overall pick in his debut against Wink Martindale's defense, as he was held to a season low in passing, also failing to record a TD in a game for the first time in his career. Burrow committed multiple turnovers for the first time as an NFL player, in large part because the Ravens recorded an astronomical seven sacks on the young signal-caller. Burrow next faces a Colts defense that entered the weekend allowing a league-low 159.2 passing yards per game…read more

Not hitting deep balls
Burrow has connected on only one of his 20 attempts on passes thrown 20 or more yards beyond the line of scrimmage through four games, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's a historically low percentage of completions of that type, since the stat first started being tracked, but it's not all attributable to Burrow's failings. He has missed on some of those throws, but he's also not been helped by his receivers in hauling those passes, plus opposing defenses have been trying to force him to throw more intermediate passes.

Throws for 300 in first win
Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 33-25 win over the Jaguars. He added four carries for 11 yards.
Analysis: Burrow threw for 300 yards for a third consecutive week en route to his first NFL win. He had a would-be 16-yard touchdown to Tyler Boyd wiped out by a holding penalty in the first quarter, and the Bengals ended up settling for a field goal for the game's first points. Burrow was intercepted on 3rd-and-goal from the 1-yard line on the next possession, though it's tough to put that one on the quarterback, as Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack wrestled the ball away from tight end Drew Sample in the…read more

Breaks 300-yard mark again
Burrow completed 31 of 44 pass attempts for 312 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Eagles.
Analysis: The No. 1 overall pick was running for his life throughout the contest as he absorbed a jaw-dropping 18 QB hits and eight sacks during the 70-minute showdown. Just as he has throughout the early stages of his NFL career, however, Burrow maintained his composure, orchestrating a 12-play scoring drive in the fourth quarter that provided his team with a seven-point lead at the 3:05 mark. Cincinnati's defense could not hold Philadelphia on the penultimate drive of regulation, and the game remained…read more

Strong numbers in loss
Burrow completed 37 of 61 passes for 316 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 35-30 loss to the Browns on Thursday. He also rushed seven times for 19 yards and had two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: The rookie finished with a strong line despite much of his success coming in the shorter areas of the field, as evidenced by his 5.2 yards per attempt. Burrow did appear to take another step forward in his development through sheer volume of reps if nothing else, and he connected with three different pass catchers in C.J. Uzomah (Achilles), Mike Thomas and Tyler Boyd for his trio of scoring tosses. Burrow's last two scoring drives impressively covered extended stretches of the field, as he led…read more

Shows off wheels in Week 1
Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 193 yards and one interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers and ran the ball eight times for 46 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: The rookie struggled early behind a porous Bengals offensive line, getting sacked three times in the first half, but Burrow still made an impact late in the first quarter by taking a designed QB draw 23 yards for his team's only TD. He then found his rhythm as a passer late and appeared to lead Cincy to a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, only for his three-yard TD pass to A.J. Green with 11 seconds left on the clock to get overturned when Green was flagged for offensive pass…read more

Leading healthy offense
Burrow will lead a healthy offense into Sunday's game against the Chargers, as the Bengals don't have any offensive players on their Week 1 injury report.
Analysis: Some might call it a minor miracle for both A.J. Green and John Ross to be healthy at the same time. In any case, the Bengals also have Tyler Boyd, Auden Tate and Tee Higgins at wide receiver, plus Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard in the backfield and C.J. Uzomah at tight end. Burrow has no shortage of options in the passing game, though it could be tricky to find open targets against a Chargers cornerback group comprised of Casey Hayward, Chris Harris and Desmond King.

Signs rookie deal
Burrow has agreed to terms with the Bengals a four-year contract worth $36.1 million, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.
Analysis: Per the report, even before he was officially under contract, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft spent the offseason prepping for the opportunity to serve as the team's Week 1 starting QB. An offseason minus on-field reps adds a degree of difficulty to Burrow's transition to the pro game, but the LSU product will at least have a solid collection of wideouts to throw to once training camp practices commence. The group is headed by A.J. Green, with Tyler Boyd, John Ross and rookie Tee…read more
