Burrow, like Chase, wants to keep playing, as both are on pace to break franchise records.
Unlike Chase though, Burrow already has most of the single-season passing records - passing yards (4611 back in 2021), passing TDs (35 back in 2022), QB Rating (108.3 in 2021), and YPG (288.2 in 2021).
Chase actually though only has yards (1455 in 2021).
He's 33 away from the receptions record (112) set by Housh in 2007.
He's 4 away from receiving TDs record (17) set by Pickens in 1995.
While I get Chase wanting to break those records by Housh and Pickens, is there much point for Burrow to try to break his own single-season franchise records vs making sure to go into next year healthy?
Or would it be smarter to have Burrow (and Chase) sit and let the backup take their spot for the remaining month?
Chase can still get production even withBrandon Allen Jake Browning, and if Chase doesn't play, it would give Higgins more opportunity to show how well he can be a #1 for another team and also guarantee Burton to also get a starter's amount of snaps heading into next year.
The only thing the Bengals may not want to do is if Higgins does put up stud WR1 numbers, it would pretty much guarantee he's going elsewhere. Although I think he's gone either way.
