Losing Close Games is a Bad Indicator
#18
The unusual part is that if Burrow does not toss the pick six the Bengals win the game. Now this does not and should not place the onus of the loss squarely on Burrow - the pressure plus the bad play designs which only helped the Bears get the pressure were also major factors. But, Burrow did objectively have a poor day - he held the ball a lot for too long and was just off on his throws plus no mobility at all in the pocket. So there were multiple factors playing into the disaster on Sunday.

The disturbing part is with better play design and play calling we would have won even with Burrow being off. Also that once again Taylor can't win on the road and loses a close game. His W-L on the road is terrifying and the W-L in one score games is probably a league worst candidate.
