The PASSING offense didn't look GREAT against the Browns (first game where Burrow actually played), the Vikings, the Bears, the Raiders, the Chargers, or the Broncos. 

This offense has absolutely been effected by good pass rushes this year. Whether it has had a direct impact on it or they've had to game plan around the opponents pass rush, it's made an impact. I think its kind of weird to sit here and say it won't be a factor on Saturday. Everyone in that locker room knows it will be and has openly said it. 

Nowhere did I say it won't be a factor. In fact, I said they're very good and could possibly be the reason they win. What I said is that we've faced and survived worse (and the Raiders specifically). 

Had Maxx Crosby not just dominated that high profile game against the Chargers that everyone in America just watched, we wouldn't be talking about him.
