The other sacks were on a) The silly idea of blocking an elite DE with a TE and b) We had two plays were the back missed the blocking assignment. Burrow had a clean pocket the vast majority of the time and Mixon had some room to run. And this was with Hopkins in particular being very rusty because ZT only had the first team offense play three snaps all preseason. 

TE on a great edge is never an ideal situation but on it can be forced on occasions like it was on that play. Interior blitz forced a Big On Big inside out protection which forced Sample on Hunter and a Hot Read. You can see Burrow Double clutch on that play and Sample blown by Hunter was just a bad situation.
