Look, was Joe spectacular this postseason? Nope. Was it super impressive he was even as good as he was behind this OL? Without a doubt.

Final numbers:

97/142
68.3 completion %
1105 yards (276.25 average)
5 TD to 2 INT
97.3 passer rating

I think you’d be hard pressed to find any QB that could do much better being sacked 19 times. And it’s not even just the sacks it’s the fact that the constant pressure severely limits the playbook in games like against the Rams and Titans.

All I know is I watched Burrow play way better than Mahomes did in the Super Bowl last year when his OL struggled. We’re a couple upgrades away from having a top 3 offense.

Bengals have been walking a thin line entire year with that OL, especially during playoffs where it seems defenses have edge.  They won turnover battle which helped elevate team to SB.  They almost won the SB but the OL hurt in the end.  WTS, Burrow had to show better pocket awareness and movement and did not look very sharp early on.  I don't know if it were nerves or what but he did not have his mojo in SB and still played well.  Bottom line:  Rams stars edged out ever so slightly over Bengals stars.  I think right side of OL needs complete remake starting at Center.  I am not convinced that Jonah Williams is the answer at LT either.
