In the search for ways to make football “fun” again, Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow settled upon a checklist guaranteed to bring some level of enjoyment: four touchdowns, his career’s second-highest QB passer rating, and most notably, a 45-21 win. Countering Miami’s warmth with a trademark “Joe Brrr” performance — or “Joe Cool,” as he’s also referred to — Burrow was nearly flawless from the outset, starting with a seven-play, 91-yard drive, capped by a sideline score to Tee Higgins. Statistically speaking, Dec. 21, 2025 became the most productive road game of the Bengals superstar’s career, and the box score effectively told such a story, as he overwhelmed the Dolphins through 309 yards (on 25-of-32) and the touchdown quartet.
