Burrow Moves to Fifth on Bengals All-Time Passing Yards List
Joe Burrow in the second quarter surpassed former quarterback Jeff Blake for fifth place on the Bengals all-time passing yards chart. He entered the day 73 passing yards shy of Blake (15,134), who played in 75 games for Cincinnati from 1994-99.
Burrow’s career passing yardage total following Sunday’s game is 15,453. Positioned fourth on the team’s all-time list is Carson Palmer, who threw for 22,694 yards during his Bengals career.

Burrow completed 30 of 39 passes for 392 yards and five touchdowns with one interception, good for a 137.0 passer rating that goes in as the fourth-highest in a game in his career.

Chase’s career receiving yardage total following the game is 4,210, which surpasses Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (4,164) for the fifth-most in NFL history through a player’s first 50 games.
