LUTHER BURDEN III IS A PROBLEM. Via @NFL on X

What happened: Luther Burden III turned perimeter blocking into another scoring series during Thursday night regular-season play. The wideout repeatedly moved the chains on consecutive possessions to pace the passing attack.

Why it matters: The performance extends a steady regular-season climb for Burden III following his September opening-drive touchdown. Consistent yards after the catch force opposing defenses to commit extra coverage on early downs.

What to watch: Burden III remains the primary perimeter target as the Thursday night regular-season matchup continues through the second half.
