**Joe Burrow Makes Unwanted NFL History Despite Stellar Performances**

Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow etched his name into NFL history, but not for reasons he would have hoped. In Week 11, Burrow threw for 356 yards and three touchdowns without an interception during a 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This marked the third time this season the Bengals have lost a game where Burrow posted at least 300 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, making him the only quarterback since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to lose three such games in a single season.

Strikingly, Burrow now has more losses with those stats in one season (three) than legendary quarterback Tom Brady has had in his 23-year career (two). Additionally, Burrow has become the first quarterback in NFL history to register these impressive numbers in back-to-back games and lose both in regulation. The Bengals' struggles continue despite Burrow's video game-like stats, including a 35-34 loss to the Ravens in Week 10, where he threw for 428 yards and four touchdowns.

In comparison, quarterbacks with similar stats this season have collectively registered a 14-2 win-loss record. Burrow's frustration is palpable as the Bengals continue to flounder despite his stellar performances.

Other notable performances in Week 11 include some historic feats by players across the league. Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix became the first rookie in NFL history to complete 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in a single game. Another standout was Taysom Hill of the Saints, who recorded 138 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, 50 receiving yards, and 18 passing yards in a single game, a performance never before seen in NFL history.

Jared Goff of the Lions also made headlines by achieving a perfect passer rating of 158.3 for the second time in his career with at least 400 passing yards and four touchdowns. Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, and Amon-Ra St. Brown all scored in the same game for the eighth time, setting an NFL record.

The Lions had a memorable week, scoring 52-6 against the Jaguars, marking the first time in NFL history that score has been recorded. They have also tied for the best NFL record this late in the season since 1993. Their remarkable season continues as they scored over 50 points in consecutive home games, a feat achieved by only four other teams in NFL history.

The Pittsburgh Steelers also grabbed attention by winning multiple games without scoring a touchdown thanks to kicker Chris Boswell's six field goals. This unusual win pattern is shared by only a few teams since 2000. On the other hand, the 49ers have struggled, being just 5-5 despite being favored in every game this season, a rare occurrence since 1970.

In other updates, the Packers extended their winning streak against the Bears to 11 games, the longest ever against Chicago. The Raiders had an off day, failing to force any punts or turnovers for just the second time since 1991. Rookie Brock Bowers now boasts the second-most receptions through 10 career games in NFL history, closely trailing Odell Beckham Jr. Finally, Justin Jefferson of the Vikings surpassed Torry Holt's record for the most receiving yards in the first five career seasons.

As the season progresses, the Bengals will need to find ways to convert Burrow’s individual brilliance into team victories to avoid further frustration and wasted potential.
