Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after going 28 of 32 for 283 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Bengals’ third victory in a row.
Even more impressive was Burrow’s newfound mobility as he exploded out of the bye week looking like his past self with several key runs and first downs.
It’s been an impressive three-game tear for Burrow. According to PFF, over that span, Burrow is first in grading when pressured. Also, he has the highest completion percentage, is tied for the most touchdowns and has the second-highest passer rating in that span:

That will leave defenses scrambling to find another way to deal with the Bengals offense now that Burrow is mobile again and exploiting pressure.
