Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase led the offense with 10 receptions for 155 yards and a score, while Tee Higgins contributed five catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns.
Burrow currently leads the league in completion percentage at 74%, passing yards with 2,386, and passing touchdowns with 23, while also topping the list for total touchdowns accounted for at 26.
