What happened: Joe Burrow has recorded 13 touchdown passes over his past three games to lead all NFL quarterbacks during that span. The scoring run elevated his season totals to 20 passing touchdowns against six interceptions.

Why it matters: The scoring pace follows a reset in preparation for Burrow as Cincinnati contends for playoff positioning in the AFC. Sustained execution in the red zone has stabilized the passing offense through midseason depth strains.

What to watch: Cincinnati continues regular-season play ahead of the Nov. 10 league trade deadline.
