Burrow got his day started with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins after going scoreless in the first quarter.

Then, just before the end of the second quarter with nine seconds remaining, Burrow took a massive hit. However, not before laying a perfect ball in the basket for a 41-yard touchdown to Ja'Marr Chase.

Burrow came out hot in the third quarter to find Higgins again for their second touchdown connection of the day on a five-yard touchdown pass.

To begin the fourth quarter, Burrow found Chase Brown in the flat for a four-yard touchdown to put the Bengals up 31-21, capping off a 12-play, 70-yard drive.

After the Ravens answered with a Charlie Kolar touchdown, Burrow came right back with a 70-yard touchdown to Chase, which was a massive catch-and-run for the star wide receiver.

The Bengals didn't get the win despite putting up 38 points, but Burrow had an incredible day as his strong season continues.
