Burrow’s Bengals have won three in a row while he keeps on playing at perhaps the highest level of his career to date. During this, the defense has enjoyed a mini-resurgence, in part due to easy opponents and in part due to the coaches changing things up.

Burrow is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns in seven straight games. He's accomplished that now in every game dating back to the Bengals' 41–24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9 when he threw for 251 yards, five touchdowns and one interception.

Joe Burrow tossed three touchdown passes and the defense forced a key early turnover to lead the Bengals to a 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
