Burrow's remarkable second half Sunday night propelled him past 3,000 for the season.
Burrow took a big hit moments earlier from the Chargers' Otito Ogbonnia , who was called for roughing the passer. The Bengals' Evan McPherson missed a 48-yard field goal try a short time later, and Burrow passed the 3,000-yard mark on Cincinnati's following drive.
Burrow, in his fifth NFL season with the Bengals, entered NFL Week 11 leading the league with 2,672 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns.
