It was only a matter of time before he broke through. The former Heisman Trophy winner continued his strong production, and fantasy owners have to be thrilled with what they’ve seen through a quarter of the season. It may have taken until Week 4, but Joe Burrow finally picked up his first NFL victory.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 300 yards and a touchdown on 25-for-36 passing during the win over the Jaguars in Week 4. The former Heisman winner kept it going on Sunday by racking up his third 300-yard performance of the season. With four games under his belt, the rookie has also surpassed the 1,000-yard mark through the air while also throwing six touchdowns and only two interceptions. Nonetheless, with Burrow’s first victory in the books, he will likely have his most challenging task to date in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Exciting Pace Of Play
You don’t need to be reminded about how dominant Burrow was last season, but it’s always fun to take a quick glance at the insane box score.

Anyway, heading into Week 4, the Burrow-led Bengals were among the league leaders in passing percentage and were averaging an absurd 47 passing attempts per game. That tied them with the Dallas Cowboys for most in the league.
