During his 75th professional appearance, Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow achieved 309 passing yards and four scoring throws, leading his team to a 45-21 victory against the Miami Dolphins. He further registered a passer rating of 146.5 during the contest.
With 20,269 passing yards accumulated over his initial 75 professional matchups, Burrow now stands alongside an exclusive group of NFL athletes, including Patrick Mahomes (22,799 passing yards), Matthew Stafford (21,254), Andrew Luck (20,569), and legendary Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino (20,293), as the sole individuals to reach a minimum of 20,000 passing yards within their first 75 career outings.
Moreover, Burrow cemented his position as only the third athlete in NFL history to achieve a minimum of 150 touchdown passes across 75 professional games, aligning himself with Patrick Mahomes (181 touchdown passes) and revered Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino (173). He is poised to commence the following week having delivered 152 touchdown passes throughout his career to date.
Having recorded at least four touchdown passes in nine contests since his NFL debut in 2020, Burrow has now exceeded the achievements of Jeff Garcia (eight games), Andrew Luck (eight), and Pro Football Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas (eight) to claim the fifth position for the most such performances by a player during their initial six seasons in NFL annals. Solely Patrick Mahomes (16 games), Josh Allen (10), and Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Marino (16) and Brett Favre (10) possess a greater number.
Burrow currently holds 27 professional games where he has accumulated a minimum of 300 passing yards, placing him level with Matthew Stafford (27 games) and Jameis Winston (27) for the fifth-highest count of games with at least 300 passing yards within a player’s opening six seasons in NFL history. Only Patrick Mahomes (41 games) and Justin Herbert (31, in his sixth season), along with Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Marino (32) and Kurt Warner (30), have achieved higher totals.
