We got almost no pressure on Trubisky at all while Burrow was on the run all day.
How many plays did PIT run that weren't 3 step (Or from gun 1)? I only counted 4 which means a guy can lose his pass blocking rep but still not impact the play. It doesn't mean they didn't lose just that the QB got the ball out. My biggest issue with yesterday was a combination of Joe holding the ball too long and the play calling not capitalizing until the second half on dump offs and slants to take advantage of the two high shell.
The line is catching far more flack than they should probably for the issues yesterday. Early on there definitely were but as things progressed it became more and more on Burrow for not finding the underneath open guys and not checking into the right plays. Burrow gets a lot of passes here and in the media but yesterday he was not mentally in the game.
