The Cincinnati Bengals' offense came out guns blazing on Sunday in their 35-17 victory against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. While many bright spots from the game warrant highlighting, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor talked explicitly about the performance of his quarterback Joe Burrow.

Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Taylor sang the praises of his signal-caller, sharing that “when [Burrow] gets in a rhythm, watch out, because it's tough to stop.”

According to Pro Football Reference, Burrow's 481 passing yards is the second-highest single-game total of his career, only behind the 525 passing yards he produced against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season. In addition, Burrow contributed a rushing touchdown on a quarterback sneak in the third quarter. With his 20 yards on the ground, he accounted for a mind-blowing 501 of the team's 559 total yards against the Falcons on Sunday.
