Joe Burrow Becomes 1st Rookie to Throw for 300-Plus Yards in 3 Straight Games

In the midst of the team's Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow became the first rookie to throw for at least 300 yards in three consecutive games, according to ESPN's Field Yates. 

Burrow had 312 passing yards in the Bengals' Week 3 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles and 316 in a Week 2 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

In his NFL debut, the LSU product recorded 193 passing yards as the Bengals fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 16-13.

Burrow was 25-of-36 passing on Sunday with one touchdown and one interception as the Bengals collected their first win of the season, 33-25, against Jacksonville. He threw one touchdown to Joe Mixon, who also rushed for two more scores. 

Heading into Sunday, Burrow had 91 completions, ranking second only to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, with a 64.5 completion percentage and five touchdowns. He ranked ninth among NFL quarterbacks in total yards with 821. 

Though he has thrown just two interceptions this season, his success is dulled by a lack of protection—Burrow has been sacked a league-leading 15 times.

The No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, Burrow finished his career at LSU as the school record-holder in numerous passing categories: 300-yard passing games (15), 400-yard passing games (4), average passing yards per game (305.9) and average total yards per game (333.3). His 8,565 passing yards rank second in school history.

In 2019, he posted 493 passing yards against Oklahoma, a career high and second-best in program history.
