I know the Bengals don't do alot of motions or misdirection but against a defensive line that they should have... they did not once move the pocket and ran alot of deeper route combinations.
Technically there was one play they had a backside overload out of empty where Burrow snapped it and ran a sprintout to the open side away from pressure. I think part of the issue is they usually run the boot to the right side (Burrow being right handed) which means they'd have ran their boot at Watt who is so good at that stuff. I think it was a conscious effort not to boot into Watt but would have liked to see them motion the TE wide then inline for a crack a few times to slow him down.
