Joe Burrow’s numbers help magnify the Bengals’ sweep of the Ravens

The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a season sweep at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, a pair of losses that certainly aren’t 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 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 instances were, you guessed it, Joe Burrow in Week 5 and Joe Burrow in Week 10 of this season.

The Bengals defense has taken a lot of heat this season. That heat isn’t going to increase until 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 is second in passing yards per. game (267.2) and second with 2.4 passing touchdowns per game. match.

Still, the Bengals are 4-6. Lots of questions with seven games to go.
