Joe Burrow can’t help but make waves on the field after another show-stopping performance. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback has been named the FedEx Air and Ground Player of Week 9, a nod to his 251 yards and five touchdowns effort in the Bengals’ victory over Las Vegas. A weekly fan-driven accolade, the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week title is bestowed upon players delivering top offensive plays, as chosen by six nominees.
According to the Bengals’ official website, this marks the second time that Burrow has scooped up the award this season. Previously pairing up with WR Ja’Marr Chase in Week 5, Burrow’s repeat performance cements his status as a premier quarterback in the league. The Bengals chimed in on this achievement, reacting on social media with confidence, according to

, “This ain’t nothin’ new for @JoeyB.”
Moreover, Burrow’s win isn’t just a personal accolade and supports a good cause. As part of the award’s tradition, FedEx collaborates with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to donate $2,000 to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the name of each winner. As noted by the
Cincinnati Bengals
, this initiative has contributed more than $300,000 to HBCUs over the past three seasons.
Following his impressive stats this season—over 70% pass completion, more than 2,200 yards, and 20 touchdowns—Burrow is not merely racking up awards but also affection from fans eagerly tracking his career trajectory. He’s no stranger to the limelight, and if this season’s form is anything to go by, we can expect his name to keep surfacing in the MVP conversations. His next opportunity to dazzle comes tonight in Baltimore, as the Bengals face off on Thursday Night Football, according to
