Burrow surprised all and snatched the spotlight out of all the rookies that were under it earlier this season. And it seems that this spotlight will stay focused on him for quite a lot of time.

Especially not for the Bengals, who will be up against the most complete team in the NFL, the Los Angeles Rams. Considering the fact that Burrow has been the most sacked quarterback and the Rams the third most sacking team in the NFL, their face-off is going to be action-packed.
