Is the offense missing that true burner at WR?

[THE PISTONS]

1. Joe Burrow is still injured. He can’t plant and throw.

2. The run game is awful which forces the pass; the Bengals are not built to be one-dimensional.

3. Joe Burrow, even if he was 100% healthy, has no time to throw.  The Stains only sacked Joe twice but he was hurried, hit, flushed out of the pocket, and the pocket often collapsed.

If the line gets better the entire offense opens up.

They actually ran well...just not enough.

I saw stats that Mixon averages over 4 ypg against the Browns, but something like 13 carries.
