After a slow star Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals are making their presence feel in the 2022-23 season. Having just being edged past by – by Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl last time around. In the team’s last game against the Atlanta Falcons, the Bengals Quarterback took center stage with a massive performance.
Joe Burrow is often looked up as one of the most skilled Quarterbacks in modern-day NFL. On the same note, he went onto register 501 total yards and 4 TouchDowns as the Cincinnati Bengals bulldozed past Falcons, 35-17. Interestingly, Burrow had tallied 344 yards passing in the very first half.
Moreover, Joe Burrow, who is gradually entering the race for the MVP accolade, entered this contest with the fourth-most passing TouchDowns (13) and seventh-most passing yards (1,616) in the league. However, his performance in Week 7 against the Falcons will make him rank up as #3 and #1 in the respective tallies.
This is not the first time that Joe Burrow has come up with a strong, big individual performance when his team demanded it. The 25-year-old has already registered one 500-yard passing game against his name.
In this process, Joe Burrow also made history with his performance, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to have over 500 total yards and four total touchdowns in a game. That being said, it only goes onto show the importance of this Quarterback for and in this Bengals’ offensive unit. After this win the Bengals are 2nd in AFC North with a tally of 4-3 after the first seven weeks of the regular season.
