Checkdowns have helped Joe Burrow, Bengals offense reach new ... (ESPN)

Getting the little throws right has resulted in massive gains for Burrow and the offense in 2022.

“He can move in the pocket and drop a dime. Ahead of the 2021 season, Burrow sought to increase velocity on his throws to help produce a more explosive offense. BURROW'S WORK ON checkdowns is a testament to the way he constantly tweaks different aspects of his game. As a group, Cincinnati’s running backs have the third-most targets in the NFL coming into Week 17, trailing only the [Los Angeles Chargers](/nfl/team/_/name/lac/los-angeles-chargers) and the [Tampa Bay Buccaneers](/nfl/team/_/name/tb/tampa-bay-buccaneers). Perine added the chemistry with Burrow has been built over the past two years, but the Week 11 win over the Steelers provided a tangible sign of their understanding. As the Bengals looked to rebound from that loss, Burrow and the offense knew opposing defenses would try to prevent them from going deep. 1 seed in the conference and the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl. IN 2021, as the Bengals marched to their first Super Bowl appearance in 33 years, they were reliant on one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. After Burrow completed a career-high 40 passes in a win over the “To see him improve an area of his game that really helped the offense reach the next level that we're capable of reaching was really a joy to be around and watch and to coach,” Callahan said. On the surface, it was one of many nondescript passes Burrow has made. But the one Callahan was trying to recall was Burrow’s best checkdown.

Joe Burrow vs. Josh Allen stats: How Bengals, Bills quarterbacks ... (Sporting News)

The two franchise QBs are set to face off for the first time on "Monday Night Football." But which quarterback has the better skillset?

He has a 64.9 PFF grade when pressured, the best in the league, and an 11:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio, while Burrow sits at a 56.5 PFF grade and a 7:3 ratio. His running style has become something teams at least need to consider, but Allen's style is a legitimate part of the Bills' offensive gameplan. He has a PFF rushing grade of 76.5, the best of his career, but lacks that physical running style of Allen. In 2022, Allen has the most turnover-worthy plays among quarterbacks at 29 and leads qualifying QBs at 4.4 percent. He also has a 16.4 percent bad throw rate in 2022 and ranks 15th at 16.7 percent since 2020. Allen also attempts far more passes down the field (14 percent of his throws) while Burrow heaves it downfield only 8.2 percent of the time. Burrow has his own strengths in the deep passing game. Allen has the fifth-longest completion in the Next Gen Stats era (dating back to 2016) at 63.9 yards. As they prepare to face off for the first time in their NFL careers, The Sporting News is taking a look at the two quarterbacks by the numbers, and which QB has the edge. And that has been the trend so far in their careers. Here's a look at a comparison of the two in 2022: Burrow likes to stay in the pocket and escape when necessary.

NFL completion percentage record: How Joe Burrow can pass idol ... (Sporting News)

Joe Burrow should have a relatively easy path to NFL history on "Monday Night Football" against the Bills.

After that, he will be tasked with maintaining the top overall completion percentage. He acknowledged that he was a fan of Burrow as well, noting that he liked his choice of the No. Even if Burrow fails to complete any of those passes, his all-time completion percentage would be higher than that of Brees. He has attempted 1,488 passes entering Week 17 (completing 1,019 of them), so that means he will need to throw just 12 times on Monday night to be added to the leaderboard. 9 jersey and Burrow's journey from buried on the Ohio State depth chart to starring at LSU. "I was a Saints fan because of you." "He’s been fun to watch. It's fun to watch him operate in that offense." Burrow has been one of the NFL's most accurate quarterbacks during his career to date. Burrow passing Brees for the best completion percentage in NFL history will happen; it's just a matter of when exactly that will happen, but it will almost certainly be in Week 17 against the Bills. Burrow just needs to pass the minimum pass attempts threshold of 1,500 to qualify for the NFL's all-time completion percentage leaderboard. He has one of the highest completion percentages in NFL history, but he isn't yet qualified to join the league's all-time completion percentage leaderboard.

But really, in the big picture, this game will largely be about what we learn from it rather than the final result. The conversations and excitement leading up to this game have been the best part. Some parties, even those set up to be potentially the most exciting of your life, can be a letdown.

Joe Burrow Contract: Bengals Could Lose Superstar QB Because of ... (Sportscasting)

A Joe Burrow contract extension should be coming up, but the Bengals have a lot of pressure on them after huge NFL QB deals last offseason.

It stands to reason that Burrow (Class of 2020) would be up for a new deal in the 2023 offseason. By the time a Joe Burrow contract extension comes to fruition this offseason or next, that number could approach $300 million for six years with full guarantees. As Burrow is leading his team to the playoffs for the second-straight year this season, he is arguably the biggest value in football. Rodgers signed a deal with an AAV of $50.27 million, skewing the QB market. 1 pick of the 2020 draft, the initial rookie-scale Joe Burrow contract was a four-year, $36,190,137 deal that is fully guaranteed. In 2024, the team can pick up Burrow’s fifth-year option, which is now estimated at $28,049,000, according to The problem is the Bengals (with owner Mike Brown) have never been the most free-spending team in the NFL. After that, the team could keep him through 2025 with the franchise tag. Over the life of the agreement, the annual average value (AAV) is $9.04 million per season, per In fact, many Bengals fans would argue the franchise is the “cheapest” in pro football.

Making the case for Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow as NFL MVP (Sportsnaut)

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has an opportunity to narrow the NFL MVP gap against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills Monday night.

One of the [most-underrated receivers in the game](https://sportsnaut.com/nfl-wide-receiver-rankings-week-17-ceedee-lamb-improves-as-justin-jefferson-dominates/), Tee Higgins has hauled in 73 receptions for 1,022 yards and seven scores. [ Ja’Marr Chase](https://sportsnaut.com/player/jamarr-chase/) has caught 79 passes for 960 yards and eight touchdowns. Despite his long odds of coming away with the NFL MVP, Joe Burrow would have to be in the conversation.
