While he has had two seasons cut short by injury, Burrow has racked up some impressive numbers through his first five NFL seasons.

Here's a look at his career numbers: Year Games Yards Yards/Game 2020 10 2,688 268.8 2021 16 4,611 288.2 2022 16 4,475 279.7 2023 10 2,309 230.9 2024 16 4,641 290.1 Burrow's 4,651 yards through 16 games are a new career-best, as is his average of 290.1 yards per game.

He'll need to exceed that average in Week 18 to join the NFL's 5,000-yard club, but that may not prove to be too tall of a task.

This season, Burrow has thrown for over 359 yards four times, including a 412-yard performance in an overtime win over Denver in Week 17.

He threw for 309 yards the last time he and the Bengals faced the Steelers .

The most passing yards Pittsburgh has allowed this season is 339, but that does not mean Burrow is incapable.

Given the high stakes of the game for Cincinnati and Chase's pursuit of receiving glory, Burrow could be in line for a legacy game of airing it out.
