Joe Burrow Breaks NFL Record In Bengals Loss To Browns

by Staff Reporter

September 18, 202047 Comments

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Former LSU star quarterback Joe Burrow looked sharp during the Bengals-Browns game Thursday night despite the 35-30 loss.

Burrow finished the game 37-of-61 passing, for 316 yards, and 3 touchdowns. The 37 completions were the most in a game by a rookie in NFL history.

Burrow was also the first rookie "since 1950 with 60+ pass attempts and zero interceptions in a game."

Who the hell was throwing the ball 60+ times in a game prior to 1950?

Same question... I can only assume it was another way of saying NOBODY ever has since the inception of this professional sport.

DrSteveBrule•65 months

That offensive line is so bad. Brees wouldn't have put up stats this good under those conditions

Giantkiller•65 months

Bengals owner Mike Brown is historically both a cheap arse and an idiot. Remember when Carson Palmer preferred to retire then stay on that team another minute? Burrow will hopefully be able to leave there before they have a chance to tear his knees off.

I am a fan of Joe and will follow his career with great enthusiasm

LSU Oline > Bengals Oline!!!

PRIMO30•65 months

Hey don’t give up 200+ yards rushing, and you’ll win games?

OceanMan•65 months

8 different receivers too

Honest Tune•65 months

Hope he can make it out alive this year.

tconle2•65 months

Were the 17 hits a record?

SomeLSUguy•65 months

I think David Carr averaged 20 hits a game his rookie season with the Texans

Not any Joe Moore award winners on that offensive line. Burrow is going to get rich if he he stays healthy when his contract comes up and either Cincy franchises him or he goes free agent. I hope he gets the line he needs. Somewhere.

wallowinit•65 months

Ummm....he’s already rich.

Comparing the 2 rosters, the Bengals should have been blown out. Burrow willed that game into being competitive. If he and Baker swapped sides it would have been Browns by 50.

GetmorewithLes•65 months

I bet he breaks that record too...

Tigris Christi•65 months

Who the hell threw more than 10 times in 1950?

Iron Lion•65 months

It's a shame he has to play for the shitty Bengals

CanebreakCajun•65 months

Guys, look at him with an offensive line that may be the worst in the NFL. Now, imagine him with a quality line, not a great one, just a quality, middle of the offensive line. Pffff, GEAUXT. I hope the arse clowns that run the bengals take all the have and invest in those big boys.

His Oline reminds of Dallas

When Troy Aikman was a rookie they were horrible. Hoping Joe finishes the season with his health, Bengals line is bad, not as bad as their defense though.

The first of many more records to come! Joey B is an elite talent and young man!

TigerKing19•65 months

Joe looked great but he's going to take a beating this year. They have to get him an offensive line that can protect him.

TigerKing19•65 months

And another WR wouldn't hurt. If they can protect him and give him some weapons he's going to be incredible. I mean look what he did without it.

texastigerr•65 months

Joe is elite but the ownership and management of the Bengals is trash. They will never build a team around him. Just like Carson Palmer, they will waste a player. I hope that if they do not have a team that is obviously being built by the end of his rookie contract, he will sign somewhere else when his first contract expires. Once again, people in Cincinnati will be left with what if.

FLBooGoTigs1•65 months

Only 61% completion percentage. Smh J/k folks

theunknownknight•65 months

He's definitely regressing

PsychTiger•65 months

He needs better receivers, and linemen, and a defense.

Be sure to credit big Jim Haslam's Browns with zero interceptions with 60+ opportunities to intercept.
