What happened: Burrow has 5 touchdowns without an interception on 20-plus-yard passes this season. His 137.9 passer rating on those throws is best in the NFL.

Why it matters: Vertical efficiency forces safeties deeper and opens underneath windows. Doing it without interceptions keeps possessions alive.

By the numbers: 20-plus-yard passes: 5 TD, 0 INT, 137.9 rating — best in NFL.

What to watch: Watch whether Burrow maintains the deep efficiency in coming weeks.
