The passing score gave the Bengals an early 7-0 lead. It’s currently 7-3 in the 1st quarter, airing on ESPN. Burrow is off to a 3-of-3 start for 39 yards.

Burrow has the rest of Monday’s game and a Week 18 contest against the Baltimore Ravens to add to his record-breaking total for the 2022 season. The former LSU standout entered Week 17 having completed 69% of his passes (389-of-564) for 4,260 yards and a 34-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Burrow has thrown at least 1 touchdown pass in every game this season. His season-high is 4 TD passes, which he posted against Tampa Bay (Dec. 18) and Pittsburgh (Nov. 20).
