Bengals QB Joe Burrow

There's an underrated stat about Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow from last season that should have the Pittsburgh Steelers very concerned on Sunday.

According to the NFL Media research team, Burrow completed 12 passes of more than 50 yards last season.

That was the most by a quarterback in a single season since 2000.

The Steelers have one of the best pass-rushing units in the NFL — maybe the best.

But their secondary has plenty of question marks. If the Bengals' revamped offensive line can hold up against TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward, then Burrow should be able to exploit Pittsburgh's weak secondary.

Cincinnati is hoping to make a big statement on Sunday in the season-opener against the Steelers. It could be a long day for the Pittsburgh defense if they can't get home and affect the quarterback.

Burrow was incredibly good last season despite the poor protection from the offensive line. Imagine how good he can be with plenty of time?!?!

It might be a big day for Bengals wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
