Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow reached a major career milestone during Cincinnati’s 38-33 loss to the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
Early in the first quarter, Burrow hit wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase for an impressive 41-yard touchdown reception to start off the scoring. Not only was the play an impressive highlight, it was also the 100th passing touchdown of Burrow’s career.
Burrow’s 100th tossing touchdown came in his 55th career game, which is tied for the seventh-fewest game in NFL history. Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes was the fastest quarterback ever to compile 100 tossing touchdowns, as it took him just 40 total games.

Burrow didn’t stop at 100 though, as he went on to throw two more touchdowns against Washington, bringing his career total to 102 and counting. Unfortunately, his passing production wasn’t enough as the Bengals still lost the game and fell to 0-3 on the season.
Cincinnati’s odds of making the playoffs at this point don’t look great. There have been 160 teams to start a season with a record of 0-3 since 1990, and only four of them have gone on to qualify for postseason play…
