This is just false. I bet if you ask Burrow and he were being completely open and honest, he'd tell you that he doesn't expect this to be his last playoff game in the NFL, that the team WILL get better in the years to come.

I also bet that Burrow is going to put everything on the line for the win tomorrow. He'll dive for first downs, he'll stand tall in the pocket for that extra half second to complete a bomb to Chase knowing he's about to get lit up or a guy is going to dive into his leg. He's going to do everything and anything he can to win the game.

So, sure, maybe people take it for granted that we are starting a streak of playoff appearances, that doesn't mean the sense of urgency is any lessened because of that. Sure, maybe it is for some, but you can NOT say that the urgency is AUTOMATICALLY lessened for ALL just because one thinks there will be more playoff games in the future.
