Joe Burrow continues to set all kinds of marks this season in what has been an incredible and, at times, historic campaign for the second-year quarterback.
In leading the Cincinnati Bengals to a 41-10 thrashing of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 to complete the season sweep, Burrow threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins.
That was Burrow’s tenth touchdown pass of at least 30 yards this season. That’s the most for a quarterback through the first 11 games of a season age 24 or younger since Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas had ten such passes back in 1957.

That’s simply incredible. Burrow was already linked to HOF QB Dan Marino this season with his streak of multiple touchdown passes and now his name is linked with the great Johnny Unitas.
2021 has been magical for the Bengals and with Burrow around, the magic will only continue. Another deep touchdown this week would go a long way towards winning what will almost feel like a playoff game against the 6-5 Los Angeles Chargers.
