Joe Burrow on pace to break an NFL record held by David Carr

We’re just two weeks into the new season, but it’s painfully evident that the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive line is once again one of, if not the team’s biggest weakness.

It also has Joe Burrow on pace to break the kind of record you never want to be in contention for.

After allowing four sacks vs. the Chicago Bears, the Bengals have allowed Burrow to be sacked nine times in two games, a pace of 76.5 sacks over a 17-game season.

Seventy-six and a half.

That’s beyond absurd, and it would be a single-season record for sacks taken by a QB, breaking the previous mark held by former Houston Texans QB David Carr, who was sacked an NFL-record 76 times during the 2005 season.
