2024 CINCINNATI BENGALS NOTES
Former No. 1 overall draft pick Joe Burrow once
again leads a talented Cincinnati offense in his fifth pro season. The Athens,
Ohio native has nearly re-written the Bengals’ quarterback record book over the
past four years, as he holds single-season team records for passing attempts
(606; 2022), completions (414; ’22), passing yards (4611; ’21), TD passes (35;
’22) and passer rating (108.3; ’21). He also currently is the NFL’s all-time leader
in career completion percentage, maintaining a mark of 68.27 percent (minimum
1500 passing attempts). Through nine weeks this season, Burrow ranks tied for
second in the NFL in TD passes (20), third in completions (212), third in passer
rating (108.1), fifth in passing yards (2244) and fifth in completion percentage
(70.2). He has thrown a career-high five TDs twice this season, once in Week 5
vs. Baltimore and again in Week 9 vs. Las Vegas. Burrow posted a passer rating
of 115.5 in the win over the Raiders, and completed 69.2 percent (27 of 39) of
his passes for 251 yards. The previous Ravens game also saw him surpass
former QB Jeff Blake for the fifth-most career passing yards in team history. In
Week 6 at the N.Y. Giants, Burrow capped off the Bengals’ opening drive with
the longest rushing TD by a quarterback in team history, a 47-yarder to give
Cincinnati an early lead. Prior to the start of the 2023 season, the Bengals
signed Burrow to a five-year contract extension through the ’29 campaign.
