Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Burrow averaged only 5.9 yards per attempt and finished with a season-low passing yardage total, but he offset the modest numbers by throwing a season-high number of touchdown passes. The prolific signal-caller benefited from having both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins available after each carried questionable designations into Sunday, and he connected with Mike Gesicki (four yards), Samaje Perine (six yards), Tanner Hudson (two yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (45 yards) four his quartet of scoring tosses. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets overall, and he'll take an 11:3 TD:INT into a Week 7 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.
Burrow (back) completed 20 of 31 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one rush for minus-1 yard in the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Burrow's workmanlike stat line underscores the type of road upset victory it was for the Bengals, who didn't need to be overly aggressive against a Texans offense missing Nico Collins (hamstring). Burrow, who came into the game dealing with back tightness, took his share of lumps in the form of five sacks, but he delivered dynamic 32- and 18-yard touchdown passes to Ja'Marr Chase. Burrow also notably avoided any turnovers despite being consistently under duress, and through his first two games, he's completed a solid 68.2 percent of his passes and posted three touchdowns versus one interception while operating under center more often than in recent seasons. Burrow will look to continue his solid early-season play in a Week 3 divisional road matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Burrow (back) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Burrow was limited for the second time in as many days, but he was able to throw passes and take part in positional drills during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, which is more than he was able to do the day before. Burrow said Wednesday that he is planning to play in Week 2, and he seemingly remains on track to do so.
Burrow is dealing with back tightness but says he will play Sunday against the Texans, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Per Conway, Burrow threw only one pass during media viewing and was primarily working on handoffs at Wednesday's practice. Burrow later spoke with the media and mentioned dealing with back stiffness, but he added that he'll play Week 2. He didn't confirm whether he'll practice for the remainder of the week, however. Joe Flacco figures to get increased work with the starters in practice, but at this stage it appears Burrow will be able to suit up Sunday.
Burrow said Wednesday the thought of him not playing against the Texans on Sunday due to his current back tightness is "ridiculous," Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Burrow emerged from Sunday's Week 1 win over the Buccaneers with the back issues, although he noted Wednesday he wasn't sure exactly when he sustained the injury. Baby reports the star quarterback did not make any "significant throws" during the open portion of practice Wednesday, and Burrow confirmed he'd only gotten mental reps in during the day's session. However, his comments made it clear he fully plans on suiting up against the Texans, although how much throwing -- if any -- he'll do during the last two days of the practice week remains to be seen.
Burrow wasn't involved in the team stretch and didn't make any throws of substance during Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burrow received the most votes for MVP in a poll of NFL executives predicting the winners of 2026 awards, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
It's a somewhat surprising result, given that Burrow has never won the award before, but he certainly has the talent around him in the Bengals offense to produce elite numbers. The trick could be staying in the lineup, as the 29-year-old missed nine regular-season games last season due to turf toe, and he missed seven games in 2023 due to a wrist issue. During his last three healthy campaigns, Burrow topped 4,400 passing yards each time and threw at least 34 touchdowns. The Chargers' Justin Herbert and the Bills' Josh Allen rounded out the top three in voting.
Burrow said on teammate Ja'Marr Chase's (knee) podcast that the quarterback has high hopes for the Bengals in 2026 after the team's offseason personnel changes, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports Thursday.
