Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has set a new NFL record by throwing for 250 or more passing yards and three or more touchdown passes in eight consecutive games. This achievement was solidified during a recent game against the Denver Broncos, where Burrow completed 39 of 49 passes for 412 yards and four total touchdowns, leading the Bengals to victory in overtime. Burrow's performance not only extended his record but also marked his fifth career game with over 400 passing yards and no interceptions. He has now thrown for 40 touchdown passes this season, becoming the first quarterback in Bengals history to reach that milestone. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor praised Burrow, calling him the 'best player in the world' and suggesting he is a contender for the MVP award.
