Burroughs threw 61 passes at night and the first three touchdown passes of his career were thrown by CJ Uzomah, Mike Thomas and Tyler Byrd. According to pro-football-l context, 61 attempts were seconded by a fraud in 1950.

Burroughs finished the night with 37 completions for 316 yards with three touchdowns and no interruptions.
Mayfield said, “I think he played very well. “Just being decisive, expanding the plays, taking care of the ball. I felt like he did a great job. It’s always nice to have another young guy come in and take over and he obviously loves it. They’re behind it. Comes and leads them. ”
