Bengals trio of Burrow, Chase, and Higgins is putting up elite numbers

The Cincinnati Bengals boast a trio of elite offensive players in Joe Burrow, Ja Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. On Sunday, they showcased their skills in a victory against the Tennessee Titans. Burrow's performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he threw for 462 yards, scored five touchdown passes, and added a rushing touchdown.

Chase contributed 141 yards and a touchdown on 11 receptions, while Higgins added 155 yards and two touchdowns on 10 catches. Tight end Mike Gesicki also made an impact with 76 yards and a touchdown on four receptions.

Burrow's feat of throwing for at least 450 yards, 5 passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown in a single game places him in the elite company of just two NFL players. He is also the third quarterback in history to throw for at least 400 yards and score 3 touchdowns in the first seven seasons of his career. Burrow's ability to throw for at least 3 touchdowns in 33 games since joining the league in 2020 makes him the third player to accomplish this milestone in his first seven seasons.

The dynamic duo of Burrow and Chase have combined for 54 touchdown passes, a record for a quarterback and receiver duo under 30. Chase's 60 touchdown receptions in his first 85 career games put him in the company of only Dan Marino and Mark Clayton, with at least 60 touchdown receptions in the Super Bowl era. Chase and Higgins have formed an impressive wide receiver duo, each with at least 10 receptions, 140 receiving yards, and a touchdown reception in the same game, joining a select group of NFL legends.
