Sure maybe he didn't take off running due it and there was a short 3rd and 1 where I thought a QB sneak was in order that we probably didn't do because of the calf. But if that's a concern game plan for it don't just do your exact same offense and take the things out Burrow can't do. People are going to be upset because it's week 1 and we all waited to watch that abysmal performance. Now we all get to wait another week to see if that lit a fire under them and they come out and get a win. But unfortunately even if they look a lot better and still lose they'll still be 0-2 with another huge hole to climb out of.
There were a couple of late hits based on past seasons... but I don't know if the NFL evolved the rule a bit or if the field conditions allowed a bit more leniency on stopping... none of them were over the top. It was pretty well officiated all things considered.
