In each of his last 5 games, the @Bengals' Joe Burrow has:

- completed 25+ passes
- thrown for 250+ yards
- thrown 3+ TD passes
- had no more than 1 INT

No other QB in NFL history has done that in more than 3 consecutive games. pic.twitter.com/c24vuHYJpn

Statistically in isolation it's a good streak, but I do wonder what that record would be like if the 25 pass completions requirement was removed. 

I imagine there'd be some other folks with longer streaks, but weren't out there chucking the ball 44 times a game like Burrow which over a season would be the NFL record for pass attempts. Though I guess Stafford's 16 game season record would have still been highest if the average was added on for an extra game.

Also we really need a new HC/OC so we can get away from throwing so damn much. It's not a coincidence that we went to the Super Bowl the year Burrow had the lest pass attempts per game of his career. 

Of the top-10 pass attempt seasons in NFL history, half of the teams didn't make the playoffs and the other half of the teams went 1-5 in the postseason. The only win was '21 Brady, after '20 when they won the SB with him throwing the ball 109 times less in 1 less game.

We don't need an insanely top-heavy passing attack team, we need a great weapon (Chase) for our great QB (Burrow) and then we need a quality balanced team around them.
