In 2023, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had 2,309 yards and 15 touchdowns by way of the primary 10 weeks.
Then, in a Week 11 contest in opposition to the Baltimore Ravens, he tore a ligament in his proper wrist and was misplaced for the remainder of the season.
The harm was a blow to the quarterback as Burrow was aiming to succeed in a 3rd consecutive 4,000-yard passing 12 months.
He has come again robust in 2024 and has tallied 1,370 yards, 12 touchdowns, and simply two interceptions in 5 begins.
Sadly, the Bengals have limped to a 1-4 file together with a detailed additional time loss to Baltimore final week.

Chase has certainly began robust and has hauled in 29 passes from Burrow for 493 yards and co-leads the NFL with 5 touchdowns.
On Sunday, the Bengals head to the New York Giants for the primary of two straight street video games.
The Giants have performed barely higher than marketed and welcome Cincinnati with a 2-3 file.
Simms doesn’t consider that the G-Males will get their third win of the 12 months in opposition to Burrow, nonetheless.
“I believe they outscore the Giants,” mentioned Simms.
If the Bengals can get previous New York and Cleveland (one other AFC North cellar dweller), the workforce may have important momentum earlier than taking part in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Baltimore, and the LA Rams earlier than its bye week.
