Joe Burrow joined Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in NFL history as he enjoys an incredible start to the Cincinnati Bengals‘ 2026 campaign.
Burrow has been playing in the NFL since 2020, going through his seventh season with the Bengals. He shines as one of the best quarterbacks in the league when healthy. He also looks to make his way back to the Super Bowl after last appearing in 2021.
Cincinnati is off to a great start this year following disappointing campaigns, having one of the best records in the NFL. Burrow is on fire, recently pulling off four consecutive games where he recorded four or more touchdowns (passing and rushing combined) in that stretch. This paved the way for him to make NFL history and join a legendary class. He ties with the likes of Brady, Drew Brees and Dan Marino. He only trails Manning's five-game streak for the top mark in the all-time list, per ESPN.
