[autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] may be in just his third season in the league, but the former LSU quarterback is already making his mark.
After ending the Cincinnati Bengals‘ league-high playoff victory drought last fall, leading the team to a Super Bowl appearance, Burrow is set to add an individual accomplishment to his repertoire, as well.
With just 12 completions in Monday night’s Week 17 contest against the Buffalo Bills, Burrow would become the NFL’s all-time leader in completion percentage. Burrow is currently at 69.0% on his career, ahead of Drew Brees at 67.7%, but he needs 1,500 attempts to qualify for the list.
Even if Burrow threw 12 incompletions on Monday night, he would still become the record holder — at least, for the time being. Burrow led the NFL in completion percentage in 2021 (70.4%), and he already has the highest completion percentage of any player after their first two seasons with a minimum of 500 attempts.
The former Heisman-winner and No. 1 overall pick has been playing out of his mind down the stretch, and he’ll look to take Cincinnati on another deep playoff run. If he’s going to play this efficiently in the postseason, it certainly isn’t out of the question.
