It is safe to say that Cincinnati Bengals’ rookie quarterback Joe Burrow is living up to the hype steamed from his selection as the No.1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. After promising performances in previous weeks, Burrow led the Bengals to a 33-25 win over Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday while making history in the process.

Burrow finished the contest by completing 25 out of 36 passes attempted, throwing for 300 yards, and a touchdown. This marked his third straight game in which he had 300 or more passing yards, which no rookie in NFL history managed to accomplish before.

This was the second week in which Burrow set an NFL record. In Week 3, the 23-year-old LSU product clocked 91 completions, which is ever by a QB through hist first three NFL starts.

“We got the win, that’s all I care about,” said Burrow after the game. “It feels good to win, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to win football games. I’ll throw it zero or 100 times, I’ll throw for seven or 500 it doesn’t matter to me.”

Besides more-than-solid play by Burrow, the Bengals also benefited from a big night from running back Joe Mixon, who exploded for 151 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while adding another catch TD.

So far, Joe Burrow-led Bengals are playing above expectations, sitting at a 1-2-1 record. Their real test, however, comes next week when they head to Baltimore where they will face high-flying Ravens.

Cincinnati Bengals have officially locked quarterback Joe Burrow, their No.1 pick in 2020 NFL Draft, to a contract. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bengals and Burrow came to terms on a four-year, $36 million rookie deal.

Rapoport reports that Burrow’s deal is fully guaranteed and comes with a $23.9 million signing bonus. As expected, this is the biggest deal given to a rookie from the 2020 draft class. Behind him are Washington’s pass rusher Chase Young, who got $34.6 million, and Detroit Lions’ cornerback Jeff Okudah with $33.5 million.

Burrow signing his deal means that all top 20 picks in the 2020 NFL draft are under contract. Out of the 32 first-round picks, only offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson, Tennessee Titans’ 29th overall pick is still unsigned.

After being the worst NFL team last season, Cincinnati Bengals spent the first overall pick on Joe Burrow, hoping the LSU product will help turn around their franchise. Burrow is coming from a historically good senior year at college in which he led the LSU to National Championship.

Burrow finished the 2019 NCAA season with record 202.0 passing rating and 60 touchdowns while adding college-leading 5,671 passing yards. He won all the major college awards last season, including the prestigious Heisman Trophy.
