Joe Burrow had never thrown four interceptions in an NFL game. The most he had thrown in a game before he did exactly that on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 23-20 overtime loss was three against the Chicago Bears in a 20-17 loss last September.
Burrow, one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, was going up against Pittsburgh’s Mitch Trubisky, who is… well, not. While it’s uncommon for awesome quarterbacks to barf all over themselves like Burrow did on this day, it’s even less common for them to do it with quarterbacks far below their station on the other team. Brett Favre once threw six interceptions in a game against the St. Louis Rams, but that was in the divisional round of the 2020 playoffs, and the other quarterback was Kurt Warner.
