Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow became the NFL’s first 3,000-yard passer this season with a completion to receiver Andrei Iosivas during the fourth quarter of their NFL Week 11 loss to Los Angeles Chargers Sunday night football at SoFi Stadium.

The catch by Iosivas gave Burrow 329 passing yards for the game. He finished with 356.

Burrows’ remarkable second half Sunday night pushed him past 3,000 for the season.

Burrow took a big hit moments earlier from the Chargers’ Otito Ogbonnia, who was called for grabbing the ball. The Bengals’ Evan McPherson missed a 48-yard field goal attempt a short time later, and Burrow passed the 3,000-yard mark on Cincinnati’s ensuing drive.

Burrow, in his fifth NFL season with the Bengals, entered NFL Week 11 leading the league with 2,672 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns.

Burrow has eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark in passing yardage in three of his five seasons since the Bengals made him the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

Burrow had 4,475 passing yards in 2022 and a career-best 4,611 passing yards in 2021.

Burrow finished last season with just 2,309 passing yards in 10 games.
