The Cincinnati Bengals won their sixth consecutive game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Per usual, quarterback Joe Burrow was a big reason why, as he tossed four touchdown passes.

Burrow's big day not only fueled a 17-point comeback by the Bengals, but it put him in a class all by himself. Burrow became the first player in NFL history to throw 75 touchdown passes and have 10 rushing scores in his first 40 career games.

Burrow was generous when it came to spreading wealth on Sunday. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd all caught touchdowns, proving once again how formidable they are as a trio.

After starting the season with four interceptions in a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Burrow has thrown 29 touchdowns to just six interceptions, putting himself right in the thick of MVP discussion. If his elite-level play keeps up, the Bengals won't be a team anyone wants to see in the AFC playoffs.
