What happened: Joe Burrow made 259 pass attempts for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025, with PFF crediting him with only two turnover-worthy plays. He finished with 1,809 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions across eight games.

Why it matters: Mistake avoidance over that volume is elite quarterback play, especially when paired with 17 touchdown passes. A healthy Joe Burrow belongs in the NFL's top three entering 2026, even after an abbreviated season.
