Our WRs combined for over 200 yards and 2 TDs.

Burrow was good, but limited on what plays we could run.

Mixon rushed for 73 on 4.8 per carry and even threw a TD.

ST was great once again.

But.....our "offensive" line gave up 7 sacks and had our offense game planning around it's limitations.

Burrow was sacked 70 times overall this season and it took awhile, but the injury people were worried about might have happened again. To the other knee.

Chase was great. Fix. The. Line.

Been weak link all year and really outside penalties little improvement in pass protection and running game from last year the addition of. Pollack did not improve the line as we hoped especially  since we were  overall healthier than last yr  plus, reiff pickup and 2nd round pick. Kc scored with their rookie lineman where ours did not.  Having Burrow all year was major but if our defense had not improved doubt we make the playoffs.
