Surveying the scene during Monday Night Football’s matchup between former Heisman-winning Tiger quarterbacks, Joe Burrow eyed advantageous man-to-man coverage downfield, and found a quite appropriate result for his career’s 100th passing touchdown. Afforded both a clean pocket and room to step into a predictably-accurate throw, the Cincinnati Bengals superstar unloaded a pinpoint dime to his longtime, go-to receiver, opening the game in style through a 41-yard touchdown strike. At the peak of his powers under the NFL's national spotlight, Burrow and his up-and-coming counterpart on the Washington Commanders’ side put forth the league’s first turnover-less, punt-less game since 1940. Burrow, even during a 38-33 loss on Sept. 23, 2024, proved outstanding, going 29-of-38 for 324 yards, three touchdowns, and a 127.5 passer rating, alongside one carry for four yards.
