CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow reached another career milestone Sunday afternoon, becoming the third-fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 175 career touchdown passes.
Burrow reached the mark with his third touchdown pass against the Tennessee Titans at Paycor Stadium, connecting with Tee Higgins on a 17-yard scoring play early in the third quarter. The touchdown extended Cincinnati's lead to 21-13 after the Bengals had trailed 13-0 in the first quarter.
The milestone came in Burrow's 84th regular-season game, continuing an impressive pace since Cincinnati selected him with the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Burrow entered Sunday's game with 172 career touchdown passes. He threw his first of the afternoon to Ja'Marr Chase for 30 yards early in the second quarter, then found Jack Endries for a one-yard touchdown with 23 seconds remaining before halftime. Those two scores helped Cincinnati erase its early deficit and take a 14-13 lead into the break.
The third touchdown, to Higgins, gave Burrow 175 for his career. He had previously become the third-fastest quarterback in league history to reach 150 touchdown passes, accomplishing that feat during the 2025 season.
Burrow's latest achievement came as Cincinnati continued its comeback against Tennessee, turning a rough opening quarter into a second-half lead behind three touchdown passes from its franchise quarterback.
