Comes up just short at Arrowhead
Burrow completed 26 of 41 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs. He added 30 yards on four rushing attempts.
Analysis: Burrow threw a game-tying, 27-yard touchdown to Tee Higgins in the third quarter and had the ball with a chance to win it down the stretch, but Kansas City's defense got a crucial third-down stop by sacking Burrow for the fifth time. The Chiefs kicked the winning field goal in the final seconds on their ensuing possession to avenge last season's AFC Championship Game loss to Burrow's Bengals. After throwing for 4,475 yards and a 35:12 TD:INT in the regular season, Burrow added four more…read more

Advances to AFC Championship Game
Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bills in the AFC divisional round. He also rushed six times for 31 yards.
Analysis: Burrow started hot despite snowy conditions, connecting on his first nine throws, which included his two touchdowns. The signal -caller opened by finding top target Ja'Marr Chase for a 28-yard score, then hit tight end Hayden Hurst from 15 yards to cap Cincinnati's second drive. With some added production on the ground, Burrow will now prepare for next Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Facing Kansas City in Week 13 of the regular season, Burrow totaled 332 yards and three…read more

Throws one TD in playoff win
Burrow completed 22 of 32 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens. He also threw a two-point conversion while adding nine rushing yards and a rushing touchdown on five attempts in the wild-card round win.
Analysis: The Ravens held Burrow to fewer than 220 passing yards for the third time in as many meetings this season, but the Bengals found a way to get through with a full-team effort. Burrow connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a seven-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter to take a 9-0 lead. After Baltimore responded with 10 unanswered points before halftime, Burrow put the Bengals up 17-10 with a one-yard rushing touchdown and two-point conversion to Tee Higgins. Cincinnati's defense took…read more

Mediocre to close regular season
Burrow completed 25 of 42 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens. He added three rushes for 10 yards.
Analysis: Burrow took to the air plenty with the second seed in the AFC potentially up for grabs, and he topped 40 pass attempts for the second consecutive game. His efficiency was less noteworthy, as he managed only 5.1 yards per attempt. Despite that, he did complete four passes of at least 20 yards, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown toss to Ja'Marr Chase. With the win, Burrow and the Bengals will host the Ravens in a rematch during wild-card weekend.

Tale of two halves
Burrow was dominant in the first half against the Pats, and very shaky in the second half in the Bengals' 22-18 win. He ended up completing 40 of 52 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns while throwing two interceptions.
Analysis: All of the Bengals' scoring came in the first half, when Burrow went 28-of-36 for 284 yards and all three touchdowns. In the second half he threw a pick-six and was held under 100 yards, as the Pats' pass rush intensified and their offense kept the Bengals off the field. The Bengals need to find out how long OT La'el Collins (knee) will be out, but presumably he won't play next week against the Bills.

Throws four second-half TDs
Burrow completed 27 of 39 pass attempts for 200 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 34-23 win over Tampa Bay. He added eight rushing yards on three attempts.
Analysis: It was a tale of two halves for Burrow and the Bengals, who mustered just three points in the first half before going off for 31 unanswered points after halftime. The star quarterback welcomed back Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger) from minor injuries by dialing up both for two of his four scores in the decisive win. Burrow is up to 31 touchdowns with three games left in the regular season, putting him well on pace to surpass last year's career-high mark of 34. The 26-year-old…read more

Overcomes receiver injuries
Playing without three of his top four pass-catchers, Burrow completed 18 of 33 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also had six carries for 10 yards.
Analysis: Tee Higgins allegedly aggravated his hamstring injury in warmups, Tyler Boyd dislocated his finger on the first pass of the game and Hayden Hurst missed the game entirely, so Burrow had to make due with Ja'Marr Chase, Trenton Irwin and Trent Taylor. When viewed in that light, Burrow's performance was pretty good. The interception was a product of a pass getting deflected at the line of scrimmage, which has been a problem for Burrow.

Another commanding performance
Burrow completed 25 of 31 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 11 times for 46 yards and another score in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Burrow was nearly perfect in the win, finishing the game off in style with a laser to Tee Higgins to convert a third-and-11 play after the two-minute warning. Burrow was sacked just once, and it's worth noting that the Bengals' offensive line has done a far better job of protecting him ever since the debacle against the Browns on Halloween night. He gets his chance at revenge against the Browns next week at home.

Leads Bengals to gritty win
Burrow completed 22 of 37 passes for 270 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Bengals' 20-16 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also had nine carries for 32 yards.
Analysis: It wasn't a banner fantasy day for Burrow, but he protected the ball (zero turnovers) and was only sacked once, despite not having the services of Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and Joe Mixon (concussion). He'll have to put up bigger numbers next week when the Bengals host the Chiefs.

Tosses four touchdowns
Burrow was superb Sunday against the Steelers, completing 24 of 39 passes for 355 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw two tipped interceptions and was sacked twice.
Analysis: If there was a downside to Burrow's performance, it's that too many passes got tipped at the line of scrimmage, leading to the two turnovers. But he overcame that to lead the Bengals on multiple long scoring drives, connecting for over 20 yards with six different pass catchers. A tough road matchup awaits at Tennessee, where Burrow was sacked nine times in the playoffs last season.

Overshadowed by Mixon
Burrow completed 22 of 28 passes or 206 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers. He added four rushes for nine yards and an additional score.
Analysis: Burrow had a strong bounceback performance following a disappointing primetime effort in Week 8. His day was highlighted by a one-yard rushing touchdown early in the second quarter and a 12-yard scoring pass to Joe Mixon. Burrow missed out on a bigger day as Mixon accounted for five of Cincinnati's six touchdowns and because the Bengals were able to coast to a victory after jumping out to a 35-0 lead before halftime. Nevertheless, Burrow has at least two total touchdowns in all but one game…read more

Haunted by Chase's absence
Burrow completed 25 of 35 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday's 32-13 loss to the Browns. He added two yards on one rushing attempt and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Burrow had an interception in the first quarter and a fumble in the second as the Bengals were shut out in the first half. He finally stemmed the bleeding with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd early in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late at that point, as the Bengals were trailing 25-0. A 41-yard jump ball touchdown to Tee Higgins on the following possession brought Burrow's final output up to a respectable level, but this performance suggests the QB's fantasy managers will…read more

Shreds Falcons
Burrow completed 34 of 42 passes for 481 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 35-17 win over the Falcons. He added three rushes for 20 yards and an additional score.
Analysis: Burrow topped 37 passes for the first time since Week 1 and was incredibly efficient with his opportunity. He torched the Falcons' defense for nine completions of at least 20 yards, highlighted by touchdowns of 60, 41 and 32 yards. His effort through the air will rightfully get the majority of the attention, but Burrow also tallied a rushing score for the third consecutive game. After a relatively sluggish start to the campaign, Burrow has tallied at least 300 passing yards and three touchdowns…read more

Fills stat sheet with four TDs
Burrow completed 28 of 37 pass attempts for 300 yards and three touchdowns while adding 25 rushing yards and another score on four carries in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Burrow wore teammate Ja'Marr Chase's college uniform while entering the Superdome -- the location where the duo won a national championship with LSU -- and the star players put on a clinic against New Orleans on the road. The 25-year-old led the game-winning drive to get the Bengals back to 3-3 while also restoring faith in his fantasy managers following a down game against Baltimore last week. Burrow has now scored 14 total touchdowns (12 passing) to go against seven turnovers, but six of…read more

Goes for two scores Sunday
Burrow completed 24 of 35 pass attempts for 217 yards, a touchdown and an interception while adding three rushes for six yards and another score in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: The Ravens were intent on not giving up the deep ball to Burrow and his favorite target, Ja'Marr Chase (seven catches for 50 yards), leading to punts on the Bengals' first four drives of the contest. The 25-year-old continued to take what the defense gave him, keeping his team in the game until the final drive without his usual gaudy passing totals. Burrow saved what would have been his worst fantasy performance of the season with a one-yard touchdown plunge with 1:58 left in the fourth…read more

Another strong effort Thursday
Burrow completed 20 of 31 passes for 287 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night. He also rushed five times for six yards.
Analysis: Burrow had the benefit of improved pass protection for the second time in four days, and his final line is a byproduct of the extra time he had to scan the field. Burrow averaged an impressive 9.3 yards per attempt and was only sacked once, finishing with a quarterback rating of 115.9 for the night. The third-year signal-caller's most productive connection was with Tee Higgins, who recorded seven receptions for 124 yards and a 59-yard touchdown grab down the left sideline in the second quarter.…read more

Rides hot start to first win
Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns while rushing five times for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Burrow threw for 95 yards on the opening drive, which he capped with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Samaje Perine, and he finished the first quarter with 163 yards and two touchdowns after linking up with Tyler Boyd for a 56-yard touchdown on the final play of the quarter. A five-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase put the Bengals up 27-9 in the third quarter, but Cincinnati was otherwise content milking the clock on offense en route to its first win of 2022.

No protection again in Week 2
Burrow completed 24 of 36 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown while gaining 26 yards on four carries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: After getting sacked seven times in a Week 1 loss to the Steelers, Burrow was running for his life once again in Dallas and got taken down six more times. Despite the issues in front of him on the offensive line, the third-year QB still rallied the Bengals in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17-17 with less than four minutes left, only for the Cowboys to kick a game-winning FG as time expired. Cincinnati is a surprising 0-2 to begin the season, but Burrow may have a little more time to…read more

Major struggles in home loss
Burrow completed 33 of 53 pass attempts for 338 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers while also losing a fumble.
Analysis: Burrow was gutsy enough in what must have been a painful game (seven sacks and 11 hits), but he simply did not play well. While he dealt with an unacceptable amount of pressure, it's also true he didn't handle most of those situations well. It certainly didn't help that Tee Higgins left early with a concussion, especially since Cincinnati lacks receiver depth, so hopefully Higgins is recovered and cleared before Cincinnati's Week 2 matchup with Dallas. The Dallas pass rush and secondary could…read more

Analysis: Burrow, who underwent an appendectomy July 26, is thus in line to start Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers. Another player whose name is absent from the Bengals' initial injury report is Tee Higgins (shoulder), which ensures that Burrow will have his top three wide receivers (Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins and Tyler Boyd) available this weekend.

Burrow (appendix) returned to team drills Wednesday but acknowledged he would still like to add weight before Week 1, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While holding a news conference Wednesday for the first time since requiring an appendectomy July 26, Burrow relayed that he spent a few days in the hospital after a ruptured appendix necessitated the emergency procedure. He returned to 7-on-7 work Monday and is now participating in team drills, but he's not necessarily back to 100 percent strength less than a month after surgery. The Bengals seemingly expect him to get there in advance of their season opener Sept. 11 against Pittsburgh.

Burrow (appendix) participated in 7-on-7 drills during his return to practice Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In his first practice since having his appendix removed, Burrow was eased back into the mix, but he actually did more Sunday than coach Zac Taylor had anticipated. "We talked about doing two reps in 7-on-7," Taylor noted afterward. "And then he took 10. That's how it goes sometimes." Though it's uncertain when Burrow will resume practicing fully, the Bengals' franchise QB has ample time to ready himself for the team's Week 1 contest, at home against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Analysis: Burrow never had a shot to play Friday and doesn't seem likely to make more than one brief appearance this preseason, if he plays at all. He threw some short passes during Monday's practice, marking the first time since his July 26 appendectomy that reporters had seen the quarterback do any type of on-field activity. Burrow returned to meetings shortly after his surgery and is expected to be ready for Week 1.

Baby relayed that Burrow was taking snaps, went through his reads and tossed the ball back to a member of the Bengals' equipment staff.

Deemed day-to-day
Burrow (appendix) is considered day-to-day and has been present for meetings at training camp, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Burrow presumably was able to continue working on the mental side of the game within a few days of undergoing surgery last Tuesday (July 26). Early reports suggested he could be miss two or three weeks, but it won't be shocking if it's a bit less than that. The relatively minor surgery, an appendectomy, shouldn't end up having too much impact on either his perceived fantasy value or his in-season performance.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow underwent successful surgery Tuesday to remove his appendix, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Burrow will be discharged from the hospital Wednesday, but a timeline for his return to the field isn't known.
Analysis: Taylor said he isn't too worried about Burrow's current absence because new offense installs will be addressed later in training camp, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. In the meantime, Brandon Allen will likely handle the bulk of first-team reps. While Burrow's availability for preseason action looks iffy, there's no indication that the Bengals have any concerns about his Week 1 availability.

Having appendix removed
Burrow (knee) is undergoing surgery to remove his appendix and will miss some practice time in the coming weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Given the typical recovery timeline for an appendix removal, Burrow should be back at practice around mid-August or even a bit sooner. This does put his availability for the preseason in doubt, though he likely wouldn't have played much even without any health concerns. Burrow avoided surgery on a left MCL sprain this offseason and was able to practice without a knee brace at the Bengals' June minicamp.

Has MCL sprain, won't need surgery
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Burrow (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: According to Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site, Burrow is also nursing a pinkie injury, but he shouldn't require offseason surgery to address either issue. Additionally, Taylor categorized Burrow's MCL sprain as an aggravation of the injury he dealt with in December. The Bengals are hopeful that after a couple months of rest, Burrow will be ready to resume workouts as a full participant at some point during OTAs.

Shouldn't need offseason surgery
Burrow isn't expected to need surgery on the knee injury he suffered in the final minutes of the Super Bowl, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While the injury likely impacted his mobility late in the fourth quarter, Burrow never missed a snap. Still, it's apparently serious enough to require some type of rehab process, which Burrow should have time to complete before spring practices in May and June. Rapoport says the injury "shouldn't drastically alter [Burrow's] offseason."

However, besides that connection, Burrow managed only 5.9 yards per attempt and was under consistent pressure in the final two quarters of the contest.

Analysis: The numbers are modest at a glance, but the Bengals controlled this game from start to finish and it's possible that they could have done more if they needed to. With that said, Burrow did most of his damage early, throwing one touchdown to each of Tyler Boyd and C.J. Uzomah in roughly the first third of the game and not doing a whole lot afterward. With higher stakes in the second playoff round it's possible that Burrow and the Bengals take a more aggressive approach.

Back to full practice
Burrow (knee) practiced fully Tuesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In his last appearance Week 17, Burrow limped off the field moments before Evan McPherson (groin) kicked a game-winning field goal in a 34-31 victory over Kansas City. The QB eventually followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen during prep for the season finale, and while he entered this past weekend as questionable, he didn't travel with the Bengals and was ruled out ahead of a contest at Cleveland that had no impact on Cincinnati's playoff seeding. Burrow's knee injury may have been fortuitous,…read more

Downgraded to out
Burrow (knee/rest) will not travel to Cleveland and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The plan all along has been to rest Burrow, so this hardly is a surprise. Ben Baby of ESPN.com did relay the second-year quarterback was a full participant in Friday's practice, essentially confirming Burrow's designation is simply a procedural one. Expect the star quarterback to face no such limitations when the Bengals square off against their playoff opponent next week.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Burrow (knee/rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ben Baby of ESPN.com relays that the QB was listed as a full practice participant Friday, but the plan this weekend is to rest Burrow with the postseason in mind, which sets the stage for Brandon Allen to start Sunday. It remains to be seen, however, if Burrow is in uniform versus Cleveland, as Jake Browning could be promoted from the practice squad to back up Allen in Week 18.

Burrow (knee/rest) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Though Burrow was back on the field after sitting out Wednesday's session entirely, his practice activity shouldn't be taken as evidence that he'll play in Sunday's regular-season finale in Cleveland. Head coach Zac Taylor and Burrow himself have both already said that the signal-caller won't start Sunday, with the Bengals instead planning to hold him out to preserve his health for the playoffs.

Analysis: Burrow was rested during Wednesday's session, but his return to the field Thursday supports the notion that the knee issue he's managing isn't a major one.

Not practicing, plans to sit Sunday
Burrow (knee/rest) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com Burrow plans to practice at some point this week. Though the quarterback's sore right knee isn't considered a major issue, head coach Zac Taylor already acknowledged that Burrow will be rested Sunday against the Browns, while Brandon Allen draws the starting assignment for Cincinnati. Since the Bengals don't have any other quarterbacks on the roster at the moment, Burrow could still be active this weekend as Allen's backup.

He added that he could play Week 18 if needed, but with Cincinnati unlikely to dramatically improve its playoff positioning in the regular-season finale, the team appears prepared to rest or limit Burrow and several other key contributors with an eye on entering the playoffs in optimal health.

Head coach Zac Taylor said he hasn't decided whether Burrow (leg) or any other key starters will rest for Sunday's game against the Browns with the Bengals having already secured a playoff spot, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Cincinnati enters Week 18 in the No. 3 spot in the AFC standings, but it could have the opportunity to clinch the No. 1 seed with a win and losses by the Titans, Chiefs and Patriots or a win plus a Bills win and losses by the Titans and Chiefs. That may incentivize Taylor enough to put his best players on the field, even though Burrow could probably benefit from some rest after the quarterback acknowledged his leg got twisted late in late week's win over Kansas City.

Banged up late in huge win
Burrow completed 30 of 39 passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs. He added 10 yards on five rushing attempts, but Field Yates of ESPN reports that Burrow was sidelined for the game's final few plays after taking a hit and hobbling off the field.
Analysis: After falling in an early 14-0 hole, Burrow connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a 72-yard touchdown. The Chiefs restored their 14-point lead on the ensuing drive, only for Burrow to answer again with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Chase. Burrow threw his third touchdown to Chase in the third quarter - this time from 69 yards out - before finally giving the Bengals the lead with a five-yard strike to Tyler Boyd early in the fourth quarter.

Enormous production
Burrow completed 37 of 46 pass attempts for 525 yards and four touchdowns against Baltimore on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.
Analysis: Burrow did almost whatever he wanted against a badly depleted Ravens secondary, propelling each of his three standout wide receivers to big fantasy production Sunday, especially Tee Higgins (12 receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns) and Ja'Marr Chase (seven receptions for 125 yards).

Makes most of limited volume
Burrow completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 157 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: As indicated by the score, this matchup was dominated by the defensive units. As a result, Burrow's volume was limited, and his 22 pass attempts were his lowest mark since Week 3. Even so, he was fairly efficient when he did take to the air, with the highlight of his performance being a 56-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd late in the third quarter. While Burrow had racked up decent yardage in his last two games, he has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games.

Burrow (finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Burrow's return to the field as a full participant confirms that his absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related. The quarterback initially suffered the injury to a finger on his throwing hand in the Bengals' Week 13 loss to the Chargers, but he played through the issue Week 14 and turned in one of his better outings of the season in a 26-23 overtime loss to San Francisco, finishing with 25 completions on 34 attempts for 348 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Big numbers in tough loss
Burrow completed 25 of 34 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The Bengals' offense was sluggish through three quarters before Burrow caught fire in the fourth, hitting Ja'Marr Chase for a pair of scores to force extra time and then leading Cincy to a field goal on the opening possession of OT. However, San Francisco responded with a game-winning touchdown when they got their turn with the ball.

Whether that translates into him officially being listed as a limited participant won't be known until the Bengals release their first official Week 14 injury report, but in any case, the signal-caller said he doesn't expect to sit out this weekend's game against the 49ers, according to Baby.

Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow could be limited in practice for the start of Week 14 prep after dislocating his right pinkie finger in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: According to Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Taylor noted that Burrow "feels good" after playing through the injury Sunday, but the second-year quarterback could get some extra maintenance early on this week in any case to relieve some of the pressure on his pinkie finger. Unless the finger swells up and presents more difficulty with his throwing in practice than expected, Burrow doesn't look to be at any major risk of missing the Bengals' upcoming game against the 49ers this weekend.

Suffers finger injury in loss
Burrow completed 24 of 40 passes for 300 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards and lost a fumble, the latter a first-quarter play on which he suffered a a dislocated pinkie finger, Marisa Contipelli of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Burrow's injury ultimately didn't lead to a subpar fantasy day by any stretch, even though the two interceptions were certainly a blemish. However, the 2020 first overall pick hit the 300-yard mark for the third time this season and extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to three games when he connected with Tee Higgins on a 29-yard scoring toss to start a comeback from 24-0.

Responsible for two TDs in win
Burrow completed 20 of 24 pass attempts for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception while scoring another touchdown on an eight-yard rush in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: The Bengals' defense and rushing attack led the charge in an important win over an AFC North rival, but Burrow was able to get in on the ground onslaught with a touchdown of his own. It was the 24-year-old's first rushing score of the season after posting three in his shortened rookie campaign.

Burrow completed 20 of 29 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He gained 11 rushing yards on three carries.
Analysis: The yardage total was his lowest of the season, and the second-year QB also lost a fumble, but Burrow didn't have to do too much on a day in which Joe Mixon was running wild. After tossing multiple TDs in eight straight games to begin the season, Burrow has managed only one score in his last two, a slump he'll look to break out of in Week 12 against the Steelers.

The Bengals' offense bounced back on the ensuing drive, marching downfield again and this time punching it in with an 11-yard Joe Mixon rushing touchdown to tie the game.

Burrow completed 23 of 38 pass attempts for 416 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 41-17 rout of the Ravens.

Analysis: After posting 261 yards and two TDs without an interception during a Week 1 victory against the Vikings, Burrow fell back to earth a bit, posting the first turnovers of his second campaign. His first one was particularly backbreaking, as a pass intended for Tyler Boyd near midfield was picked off and returned to the house to put the Bears up, 17-3, with just under 11 minutes remaining in the game.

More snaps under center
Burrow took 53 percent of Sunday's snaps under center after averaging around 80 percent of his snaps in shotgun formation last year, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.
Analysis: The change possibly signals the Bengals are more committed to the running game this season, particularly in OL coach Frank Pollack's wide zone-centric scheme, and that taking snaps under center suggests play-action can be more effective. Of course, it's also easier to emphasize the run and taking snaps under center when you already have the lead, as the Bengals did for most of the second half last week.

He found Tee Higgins for a two-yard score with 1:51 remaining, then connected with rookie fifth-overall pick Ja'Marr Chase for a 50-yard touchdown just 1:16 later.

Burrow played the opening series in the Bengals' 29-26 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, misfiring on his only pass attempt.
Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor apparently didn't want to deviate from his plan of only having Burrow handle the opening possession, regardless of how short that drive ended up being. As it turned out, the Bengals actually went backwards with the second-year signal-caller under center due to an unnecessary roughness penalty, and Burrow's only attempt, which went to Ja'Marr Chase, was incomplete due to a drop on the rookie receiver's part.

Burrow is scheduled to receive snaps in Sunday's preseason finale versus the Dolphins, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the quarterback is poised to get in some game action for the first time since he sustained a season-ending knee injury last November, Burrow isn't expected to draw extended work Sunday. With that in mind, head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged that the 2020 No. 1 overall pick's stint against Miami will be "very limited."

No go for preseason opener
Burrow (knee) will not play in the preseason opener next week, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: This shouldn't be a surprise whatsoever given the team's cautious nature regarding its franchise quarterback. Burrow has struggled through the first few days of training camp to gain any sort of confidence in his pocket awareness, a seemingly natural progression in his return from a torn ACL and MCL. A lack of confidence in his knee, and his offensive line, could have disastrous effects in live-game action, so it's hard to see the team trotting out the 2020 No. 1 overall selection unless the…read more

Offense struggling mightily
Burrow and the Cincinnati offense have struggled to move the ball in training-camp practices, with the Bengals' defensive line often putting intense pressure on the team's quarterbacks, Jay Morrison and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There are two big concerns about Burrow heading into 2021; how mobile he is after recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, and how well his offensive line will be able to protect him. Thus far, the second concern hasn't been put to rest. It's not unusual for defenses to be ahead of offenses at this time of year, but the way Dehner describes the imbalance -- ("... most lopsided practice in a long time ...") -- is certainly disturbing.

Unlikely to play in preseason
Bengals president Mike Brown doesn't expect Burrow to play in any preseason games, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Burrow made a smooth recovery from Dec. 2 knee surgery and now has been cleared for 11-on-11 drills at the start of training camp. Even so, the Bengals are leaning toward holding him out of games until Week 1, relying on practice to ramp up his workload and evaluate his health and performance. While all reports on Burrow's rehab progress have been encouraging, we'll still need to monitor his practice participation in the coming weeks, considering he'll be just a little more than nine months…read more

Opening camp healthy
Burrow (knee) is healthy and will be on the field for the start of training camp this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Bengals placed WR Riley Lees (undisclosed) and Renell Wren (quadriceps) on the PUP list Sunday, and Burrow apparently won't be joining them and will be ready to practice this week. The 2020 first-overall pick's rookie campaign was derailed after 10 games due to a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, but he's had no hiccups in his rehab over the past eight-plus months. Burrow still could be brought along slowly early in camp if the Bengals want to remain cautious, but at this point his…read more

Expects to be healthy by camp
Burrow (knee) said Tuesday that he's aiming to be 100 percent healthy by the time training camp arrives in late July, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Burrow estimated that his surgically repaired left knee was at about 85 percent during this week's minicamp, and he said he experienced no setbacks during any of the Bengals' nine OTA sessions during the offseason. He still has some work to do to get prepared for training camp, but even if he has some limitations in the Bengals' initial practices, he looks well on track to be available for the Week 1 matchup with the Vikings on Sept. 12.

'All systems go' for opener
Burrow (knee) is considered "all systems go" for the Bengals' season opener against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. "He's on track for full go for the start of the season," Dr. Neal ElAttrache said.
Analysis: The second-year quarterback continues to make encouraging progress in his recovery from reconstructive knee surgery in December and it appears a Week 1 return is not just possible, but expected. Per Schefter, the doctors will restrict Burrow from taking contact until nine months out from the surgery, which could mean no preseason reps. Still, things continue to trend in the right direction for Burrow and he is on track to be ready for the start of the season even if he is limited through…read more

Reunited with college teammate
The Bengals added another elite pass-catching option for Burrow (knee) in the first-round Thursday, drafting college teammate Ja'Marr Chase from LSU.
Analysis: Given Justin Jefferson's production in his rookie year in 2020, it's easy to forget that it was Chase that actually led the way during Burrow's Heisman Trophy season in 2019. Burrow now has three excellent wideouts in Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and Chase; hopefully, his offensive linemen will buy him more time this season to find them.

On track for Week 1
Burrow (knee) said Tuesday in an interview with Chris Collinsworth on the "Pro Football Focus Podcast" that he's "very optimistic" about his rehab progress and expects to play Week 1, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Working his way back from Dec. 2 surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL, Burrow has now resumed throwing from a dropback position, in addition to running and weightlifting. He isn't doing rollouts or any change-of-direction work, but that's to be expected at this middle stage of the rehab process. The 24-year-old says he's ahead of schedule and even believes he'll be able to practice at some point this summer.

Returns to Cincinnati
Burrow (knee) is back in Cincinnati after spending the first phase of his rehab process in Los Angeles, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed surgery Dec. 2 in the L.A. area, 10 days after Burrow suffered ACL and MCL tears in his left knee. No setbacks have been reported so far, but the young QB still has a long process ahead, hoping to make it back for the start of the 2021 season. Burrow recently told Colin Cowherd that he's excited to continue working with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, who was rumored to be on the hot seat but ultimately kept his job. Cincinnati has every opportunity to improve this…read more

Burrow underwent knee surgery Wednesday.
Analysis: The Bengals released a statement Thursday, noting that the rookie franchise QB "underwent successful surgery yesterday. The procedure went as planned and he is expected to make a complete recovery. Joe will begin the recovery process and we look forward to his return." Given the timing of Burrow's surgery, which will repair his damaged left ACL and MCL, it's unclear how close to 100 percent he'll be as the 2021 season approaches. In any case, now that the surgery has been performed, the top…read more

Burrow (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery to address his torn left ACL this week, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Zac Taylor didn't offer a timetable for Burrow's return to Cincinnati, nor has he disclosed an official timeline for the rookie's recovery from a torn left ACL and MCL, plus additional ligament damage. Still, there appears to be optimism that Burrow could be ready to kick off the 2021 campaign as long as he can avoid setbacks in his rehab. Despite having his debut season cut short, Burrow set Bengals rookie records in terms of both completion percentage (65.3) and passing yards per game…read more

The Bengals placed Burrow (torn ACL) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Burrow suffered a season-ending torn left ACL, MCL and additional ligament damage during Sunday's loss against Washington, so his placement on injured reserve was only a matter of time. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Bengals anticipate an 8-to-9-month recovery timetable for Burrow, which would put him on track for the start of the 2021 season as long as he can avoid any setbacks.

Expected to be ready for 2021
The Bengals expect Burrow (torn ACL) to recover in time for the start of the 2021 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Burrow tore his left ACL and MCL during Sunday's loss to the Football Team, in addition to suffering other structural damage. Adam Schefter of ESPN has noted that such injuries usually carry a 9-to-12-month recovery timetable, which could put his availability for next year in jeopardy, but Ben Baby of ESPN.com's confirmation that coach Zac Taylor expects Burrow to be ready for 2021 would suggest that the Bengals are confident his recovery will be on the quicker end.

Multi-ligament injury confirmed
Burrow suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, in addition to other structural damage, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Burrow sustained the injury to his left knee during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Washington, when his leg buckled awkwardly while taking a sack, and Monday's MRI has now confirmed the full extent of the damage done. The 23-year-old signal-caller is set to undergo season-ending reconstructive surgery in the near future, and he'll need to avoid any setbacks in his recovery in order to return by the start of the 2021 campaign.

Torn ACL confirmed
The initial diagnosis has confirmed a torn ACL for Burrow, who will get an MRI on Monday to look for possible additional damage, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Even if no additional damage is found, the torn ACL alone will end Burrow's season, and he'll have to avoid any setbacks in his recovery to be ready by the start of next season. The 2020 first overall pick was on pace to set multiple rookie passing records and finishes his season with 2,688 passing yards and a 13:5 TD:INT in 10 games.

Torn ACL feared
The Bengals believe Burrow (knee) suffered a torn left ACL during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Washington, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Burrow's left leg bent awkwardly while taking a sack Sunday, and Cincinnati's initial diagnosis for his injury is a season-ending ACL tear. The rookie quarterback will receive an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury Monday, but given that he wrote "see ya next year" in a message shared via his official Twitter account, it looks like Burrow is destined to miss the rest of the 2020 season.

Analysis: We'll look for added details and official confirmation of such an outcome, but either way, it doesn't look good for the young signal-caller, who tweeted in the aftermath of his injury "see ya next year." Ryan Finley took over for Burrow on Sunday and Brandon Allen is on Cincinnati's practice squad.

Limited in Pittsburgh
Burrow completed 21 of 40 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Steelers.
Analysis: Burrow moved the Bengals' offense down the field effectively on their first drive of the second quarter, connecting with three different receivers before tossing a two-yard touchdown to Tee Higgins. However, those were the team's final points until the middle of the fourth quarter -- and that drive that was largely powered by the run. The end result was one of Burrow's worst games as a pro, as he logged his lowest yardage total since Week 5. Burrow will work to bounce back against Washington in…read more

Burrow completed 26 of 37 pass attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns while adding nine yards on three carries during Sunday's 31-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Burrow completed 70 percent of his pass attempts while spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, despite windy conditions. He completed touchdown passes to Giovani Bernard and Tyler Boyd while avoiding a turnover for the first time in the last five games. Burrow has made the most of favorable matchups over the last two games, piling up 455 yards and five touchdowns with just one interception.

Tops 400 yards in loss
Burrow completed 35 of 47 passes for 406 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 37-34 loss to Cleveland. He also rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown and fumbled three times, losing one.
Analysis: Burrow got the offense down to Cleveland's two-yard line on the opening drive before throwing an interception on 1st-and-goal. The rookie first overall pick bounced back by capping the following drive with his third rushing touchdown, using his 6-foot-3, 221-pound frame to push the pile on the second of back-to-back quarterback sneak calls from the one-yard line. He added an 11-yard passing score to Tyler Boyd in the final minute of the first half, and touchdowns of 16 yards to Tee Higgins and…read more

Can't protect early lead
Burrow completed 25 of 39 passes for 313 yards and one interception while adding two yards on three carries during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Burrow unexpectedly enjoyed a large early lead and deferred to the run game for much of the first half. Unfortunately, the Colts clawed their way back in the game, eventually taking the lead, and Burrow's interception on his last drive was the nail in the coffin. The rookie has now gone back-to-back weeks without a touchdown pass and owns a 6:4 TD:INT for the season despite reaching the 300-yard mark in four of the last five games.

Shut down by Ravens
Burrow went 19-for-30 passing with 183 yards, no touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 27-3 loss to Baltimore. He also ran for 10 yards on three carries, fumbling twice and committing one lost fumble.
Analysis: It was a turbulent outing for the No. 1 overall pick in his debut against Wink Martindale's defense, as he was held to a season low in passing, also failing to record a TD in a game for the first time in his career. Burrow committed multiple turnovers for the first time as an NFL player, in large part because the Ravens recorded an astronomical seven sacks on the young signal-caller.

Not hitting deep balls
Burrow has connected on only one of his 20 attempts on passes thrown 20 or more yards beyond the line of scrimmage through four games, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's a historically low percentage of completions of that type, since the stat first started being tracked, but it's not all attributable to Burrow's failings. He has missed on some of those throws, but he's also not been helped by his receivers in hauling those passes, plus opposing defenses have been trying to force him to throw more intermediate passes.

Throws for 300 in first win
Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 33-25 win over the Jaguars. He added four carries for 11 yards.
Analysis: Burrow threw for 300 yards for a third consecutive week en route to his first NFL win. He had a would-be 16-yard touchdown to Tyler Boyd wiped out by a holding penalty in the first quarter, and the Bengals ended up settling for a field goal for the game's first points. Burrow was intercepted on 3rd-and-goal from the 1-yard line on the next possession, though it's tough to put that one on the quarterback, as Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack wrestled the ball away from tight end Drew Sample in the…read more

Breaks 300-yard mark again
Burrow completed 31 of 44 pass attempts for 312 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Eagles.
Analysis: The No. 1 overall pick was running for his life throughout the contest as he absorbed a jaw-dropping 18 QB hits and eight sacks during the 70-minute showdown. Just as he has throughout the early stages of his NFL career, however, Burrow maintained his composure, orchestrating a 12-play scoring drive in the fourth quarter that provided his team with a seven-point lead at the 3:05 mark.

Burrow completed 37 of 61 passes for 316 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 35-30 loss to the Browns on Thursday. He also rushed seven times for 19 yards and had two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: The rookie finished with a strong line despite much of his success coming in the shorter areas of the field, as evidenced by his 5.2 yards per attempt. Burrow did appear to take another step forward in his development through sheer volume of reps if nothing else, and he connected with three different pass catchers in C.J. Uzomah (Achilles), Mike Thomas and Tyler Boyd for his trio of scoring tosses. Burrow's last two scoring drives impressively covered extended stretches of the field, as he led…read more

Burrow completed 23 of 36 passes for 193 yards and one interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers and ran the ball eight times for 46 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: The rookie struggled early behind a porous Bengals offensive line, getting sacked three times in the first half, but Burrow still made an impact late in the first quarter by taking a designed QB draw 23 yards for his team's only TD. He then found his rhythm as a passer late and appeared to lead Cincy to a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, only for his three-yard TD pass to A.J.

Leading healthy offense
Burrow will lead a healthy offense into Sunday's game against the Chargers, as the Bengals don't have any offensive players on their Week 1 injury report.
Analysis: Some might call it a minor miracle for both A.J. Green and John Ross to be healthy at the same time. In any case, the Bengals also have Tyler Boyd, Auden Tate and Tee Higgins at wide receiver, plus Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard in the backfield and C.J. Uzomah at tight end. Burrow has no shortage of options in the passing game, though it could be tricky to find open targets against a Chargers cornerback group comprised of Casey Hayward, Chris Harris and Desmond King.

Signs rookie deal
Burrow has agreed to terms with the Bengals a four-year contract worth $36.1 million, ESPN's Ben Baby reports.
Analysis: Per the report, even before he was officially under contract, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft spent the offseason prepping for the opportunity to serve as the team's Week 1 starting QB. An offseason minus on-field reps adds a degree of difficulty to Burrow's transition to the pro game, but the LSU product will at least have a solid collection of wideouts to throw to once training camp practices commence.
