He's the first rookie in league history to produce five 300-yard performances in seven games and the 14th NFL player to achieve the feat. ... With one more 300-yard game, Burrow will break the single-season franchise record, which he shares with Boomer Esiason, Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton, and will tie Andrew Luck for the NFL's rookie record. ...
