What happened: "Top 2 and he's not 2," Ben DiNucci said of Joe Burrow on NFL on CBS, adding that "he makes the QB position look so easy at times." The endorsement follows Burrow earning PFF Week 7 Player of the Week honors and the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award.

Why it matters: Cincinnati holds the No. 7 spot in the AFC at 4-2 entering the final stretch before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Burrow's midseason MVP push comes after he was slotted at No. 44 on the preseason NFL Top 100 list.

By the numbers: Over his last two games, Burrow has completed 45 of 62 passes (72.6%) for 482 yards and eight touchdowns while leading the league in overall completion rate. He has taken a sack once every 25 dropbacks this season, a 4.2% mark that beats the NFL average by 30%.

What to watch: Cincinnati enters Week 8 weighing potential roster additions ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
