Joe Burrow numbers help extend Bengals sweep of Ravens

The Cincinnati Bengals were handed a season sweep by the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, a pair of losses that are certainly not the fault of the offense.

Quarterback Joe Burrow had another strong day in Week 10, going 34 of 56 for 428 yards and four touchdowns. In Week 5, Burrow went 30 of 39 for 392 yards with five touchdowns and an interception. That’s a total of 820 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception in two games against the Ravens. Yet the Bengals went 0-2 against Baltimore this year.

Then there’s this: There have only been two instances where a quarterback had at least 300 yards on at least 30 completions, 4+ touchdowns, multiple touchdown passes of at least 40 yards, and one or fewer interceptions and still lost (H/T OptaStats ). Those two examples were, you guessed it, Joe Burrow in Week 5 and Joe Burrow in Week 10 of this season.

The Bengals defense has received a lot of criticism this season. That heat will only increase after Thursday, a game in which the Bengals once led 21-7 and lost 35-34 after missing what would have been a game-winning two-point conversion. Burrow does everything he can to win football games. He ranks second in passing yards per game (267.2) and is tied for second with 2.4 passing touchdowns per game.

Still, the Bengals are 4-6. There are still many questions with seven games to go.
