Burrow's workmanlike stat line underscores the type of road upset victory it was for the Bengals, who didn't need to be overly aggressive against a Texans offense missing Nico Collins (hamstring). Burrow, who came into the game dealing with back tightness, took his share of lumps in the form of five sacks, but he delivered dynamic 32- and 18-yard touchdown passes to Ja'Marr Chase. Burrow also notably avoided any turnovers despite being consistently under duress, and through his first two games, he's completed a solid 68.2 percent of his passes and posted three touchdowns versus one interception while operating under center more often than in recent seasons. Burrow will look to continue his solid early-season play in a Week 3 divisional road matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Over 258.5 PASS YDS by situation, each with its own confidence — thin splits read Low, so a small-sample “crushes at home” doesn’t masquerade as an edge.
PIT allows 175.5 PASS YDS per game to quarterbacks (rank 1 = allows the most).

ToughOver his last 9 games, Joe Burrow has gone over 258.5 PASS YDS 4 of 9 decided times (44%) — versus 44% across the full season. PIT has been a tough matchup for quarterbacks this season, allowing the 25th-most PASS YDS of 32 teams (175.5 per game) (small sample — read with caution). His game-to-game PASS YDS have been fairly steady (σ ≈ 56.7), so short streaks can mislead. These are descriptive stats about past games, not predictions or betting advice.

Hit rate excludes pushes from the denominator. Confidence uses a 95% Wilson interval — a high recent rate on few games still reads as low confidence. Season over rate at this line: 44%.
