From the article

Through five games, Burrow has thrown for 1,361 yards (sixth in the NFL), 11 touchdowns (fourth), and just three interceptions (tied for the second-fewest). Higgins leads the team with 423 receiving yards, while Chase and Gesicki have each caught four touchdown passes. Those are impressive numbers, especially considering the Bengals have struggled to establish any sort of consistent rushing attack. Opposing defenses know Cincinnati wants to throw the football, and Burrow and company have still managed to put up strong numbers through the air.

Positive signalProjection

Burrow's elite early stats (1,361 yards, 11 TDs, 3 INTs) suggest explosive second-half potential.

Through five games, Joe Burrow has thrown for 1,361 yards (sixth in the NFL), 11 touchdowns (fourth), and just three interceptions (tied for the second-fewest), putting up strong numbers despite the Bengals' weak rushing attack and opposing defenses keying on his top receivers. The source suggests if this is what a typical slow start looks like, there's reason to believe Burrow and the passing offense could come out of the bye week firing on all cylinders.
