Joe Burrow is quietly becoming one of the most prolific passers in the NFL.
This past Sunday during a win over the Falcons, the star Bengals quarterback just passed all-time great Dan Marino for most 400 yard passing games in the first three seasons with five. And Burrow’s season isn’t even halfway done.

Burrow is getting to 400 in big chunks and with big results. He leads the NFL this year with five 50yd+ TD passes and including last season, he has a total of 12 such throws during the regular season. That’s nearly double the next guy on the list, Matt Stafford with 7.

Ja’Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon and others are helping Burrow in the YAC and of course finding the endzone, but Burrow has proven to be among the tops at his position, and in just his third year he might very well go on to break many of the great passing records.
