Cincinnati hasn't had the luxury of a settled offense through the opening weeks. Joe Burrow hasn't let that uncertainty change what the Bengals can expect from their quarterback.
Even in a 22-17 loss to Jacksonville, Burrow completed 72.2% of his passes and threw for 428 yards, adding touchdowns through both the air and on the ground.
It was his eighth career 400-yard passing game, moving him past Matthew Stafford for the fourth-most by a quarterback through his first seven NFL seasons. But the bigger story for Cincinnati right now is how routinely Burrow continues to provide high-level quarterback play.
He's completed at least 70% of his passes with 230+ yards and a touchdown in six of his last seven games. While injuries have forced the offense to keep adjusting around him, its most important piece has remained remarkably steady.
That's what Cincinnati can take with it to Miami. The Bengals still have things to sort out offensively, but they aren't waiting for their QB1 to find his game. Burrow is already doing his part.
