MNF Steelers vs Bengals Play by Play: Burrow and Allen Eye Historic Milestones

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals will face off in a crucial Monday Night Football matchup, with both teams looking to make history. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen are among the top performers in the league this season, and they have several records within reach.

Burrow is just 352 yards away from breaking his own franchise mark of 4,611 passing yards in a season. He has already thrown 34 touchdown passes, putting him on pace to break his own record for touchdown passes in a season with one more score. Drew Brees currently holds the record at 67.6%, but Burrow is closing in on that as well. If he throws 12 incomplete passes on Monday, he will surpass Brees' completion percentage and become the league's all-time leader.

Allen, on the other hand, is just one touchdown away from becoming the first player with 175 total touchdowns in his first five seasons. He has already rushed for 38 touchdowns, putting him two away from Jack Kemp (40) for third most in NFL history. With a rushing touchdown on Monday night, Allen will surpass Kordell Stewart for the fourth-most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history.

Both players are also chasing individual milestones. Burrow is just 12 pass attempts away from becoming the NFL's all-time leader in completion percentage, while Allen needs four rushing yards to become the first player in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 800 yards in a season. He accomplished this feat once before in 2021.

The Bengals will be the second game of Monday's doubleheader, airing nationally on ESPN and ESPN2 with play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler and analysts Louis Riddick. With their respective win streaks, Burrow and Allen are sure to make an impact in this matchup.
