There is no argument for him not regressing. Even if you take away the wacky interception today, his INT% drops to 2.9% and his rating improves to 88. He hasn't been playing great football. 

This is due to defensive coordinators having film on Joe Burrow along with performing data analysis. Statistical tendencies can be calculated and predicted and the best teams do this. Opposing defensive coordinators now know what happens when Joe throws left, right, on third down, or whatever. They can see when he forces throws and how he responds to blitz packages or pressure from the front four.

The key Brian Callahan and Zac Taylor need to embrace and internalize is the need for stellar pass protection. These guys need to be on Frank Pollack’s case.
