Alright, let’s talk about the Bengals’ QBs before Joe Burrow, the guy who’s been turning heads lately. I’ve been digging into this for a bit, and it’s pretty interesting stuff.
So, I started by looking at what the Bengals were up to in the past. Remember back in 2010? I found out that they had T.O. and Chad Johnson on the team. Those two were something else! They pulled in 139 receptions for 1814 yards and 13 touchdowns. That’s some serious action. It got me thinking about how the quarterback situation must have been back then to support those numbers.
Then, I moved on to more recent times. I came across this game from Week 17 where the Bengals just edged out the Denver Broncos in overtime, 30-24. It was a do-or-die kind of game, and it really showed how crucial a good quarterback is to keep a team’s playoff dreams alive. It made me wonder, “Who was the guy throwing the ball in those clutch moments?”
Then I hit on something about Burrow. I mean the guy is all record this, record that. Apparently, he threw for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns in seven games in a row, that is just insane. No other quarterback ever did that. He did it in every game starting sometime.
And get this, there’s this bit from OptaSTATS about Burrow. They say he’s one of only six players in NFL history to get 300+ yards and at least three touchdowns in four straight games. He’s the first QB to do something, but I couldn’t find the exact details. Still, it’s a big deal, right?
- Started with the past: Looked at the 2010 Bengals and their star receivers.
- Checked out a key game: Focused on the Week 17 win against the Broncos.
- Dug into Burrow’s records: Found out about his insane stats and how he’s been making history.
- Got some stats: Used OptaSTATS to see where Burrow stands in the all-time rankings.
Here’s what I did step-by-step:
This whole thing has been a wild ride. From the past to the present, it’s clear that the quarterback position has been a rollercoaster for the Bengals. But with Burrow, they seem to have hit the jackpot. I’m no expert, but it sure looks like they’ve found their guy. It’s been fun piecing this all together, and I’m stoked to see what Burrow does next. What do you all think?
